The Management Of Commercial Computing

There can be little doubt that information systems and computing in general will become increasingly important in the years ahead. This book is, therefore, aiming to fill a gap in the current business management and the tutorial literature relating to computing management, including Information Technology as a unique subject. The book has been designed for the business person, for the student and the computer professional who needs a detailed overview of Information Technology and the systems involved. Further on, the book explores the fundamental aspects of operational computing, the development of new information systems, the choice of packages and the structured methodologies used. In writing the book, the author is mostly concerned with the development and the managing of systems and people in multi-national corporations, software houses, government departments, the European Union Commissions, and academia.
