Review: Service Management in Operations by Sue Conger, MaryAnne Winiford, and Lisa Erickson-Harris

I would have to agree with Sue, Mary, and Lisa in the steps they took to "examine the state of art in managing IT operations with a service perspective." Upon doing their survey of 364 individuals they found out that:
  • 45% were using IT Service Management 
  • 15% were in planning Stages Only 
  • 37% were Not Using IT Service Management 
  •  Finally 3% Did Not Know
 Next, of the people who were using the IT Service Management; Lisa, Sue, and Mary were able to show how familiar they were with each of the Concepts and Frameworks:
  • 66% were Familiar with ITIL
  • 36% were Familiar with COBIT
  • 77% were Familiar with IT Governance
  • 78% were Familiar with ITSM
  • 66% were Familiar with BSM
  • Finally 87% were Familiar with SLM
Finally the people who were not using the IT Service Management:
  • 34% were Familiar with ITIL
  • 17% were Familiar with COBIT
  • 47% were Familiar with IT Governance
  • 50% were Familiar with ITSM
  • 42% were Familiar with BSM
  • Finally 56% were Familiar with SLM
 Like I said earlier, I agree with Sue, Mary, and Lisa; Because, I have always done survey's to answer any one of my in depth question. Plus the results were fairly reliable, personally I would have tried to review a few more people but 365 is a good round number.
