Reviews / Votes
"...after finishing the book and absorbing its contents, my ever expanding knowledge information history was much richer." --Legal Information Management"...the toolkit is incredibly useful, providing analysis templates, questionnaire design tips and much more. I thoroughly recommend it." --Legal Information Management
"...concise pre-course reading to business and information systems students. The pragmatic (and not highly theoretical) way the book is written rightly portrays the author's academic and consultancy background. The language is also very readable." --International Journal of Information Management
