Description
This book offers a practitioner's guide to the process of planning for and implementing information systems. Aiming to demonstrate in a straightforward manner the way information systems can be planned and designed given limited time and resources and set against defined terms of reference, the book is essentially pragmatic. Areas such as basic sociological problems in IT and the design of the user friendly interface are covered. Tutorial material is included for self-study and the book features case studies from developing countries.
