Reviews

[Adrian Royce]

This is a very informative look at IS/ICT today in business. I particularly enjoyed the historical view the authors have strived to convey to give some context as to the way we use and manage IT today. A few viewpoints however are pure fantasy and not based on real world experience.

[Zack Brower]

I don't expect much from textbooks, but this was one of the most difficult I've ever read

[Suzann]
