Description
Since publication of the first edition of Managing Systems Development (Wiley, 1981) there have inevitably been many developments in the field of data processing. Additionally, computing has evolved from a back-room administration and accounting tool to a point where it plays an important corporate and strategic role in improving an organization's competitive edge. These changes are reflected in this revised second edition which will provide relevant and practical advice to those managers involved with the development of information systems.
