Description
There is no evidence of a decline in the high rate of failure of information systems. This book discusses some of the reasons for failure and the problems of developing information systems in organisations. It is based on an understanding of the limitations preventing developers from adequately managing the organisational environment of their systems. An extended and detailed real case study is presented to illustrate this theory.
