Today’s economic environment confronts companies with conditions of so far unprecedented dynamic and change. Without doubt, beyond just “execution”, the strategic alignment of business and information technology (IT) as well as adaptive, IT-enabled business. The author considers specific financial applications that can be supported by innovative IT paradigms such as service-oriented infrastructures and helps managers to assess the economic value these new technologies can generate in the risk/return management application domain. A practical example provides empirical illustration for the theoretically deduced results.
