As a strategic tool for assessing the value of IT services, Financial Management applies to which of the following service provider types? (1) An internal service provider embedded within a business u

ITIL defines three service provider types: Type I (embedded), Type II (shared services unit), and Type III (external). Financial Management applies universally because all three must track costs, demonstrate value, and justify IT expenditure to stakeholders, regardless of whether the provider is internal or external to the business.
