Reviews / Votes
A wide-ranging text, which challenges those who already believe that currently IT systems are often inefficient and do not meet the organisaton's needs. Although an introductory book it is both practical and readable even for the experienced practitioner. --Kybernetes, volume 35 issue 9, 2007More details
