Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The book is directly relevant for students on HND, degree and professional courses. This market-leading text covers the whole range of activities necessary for the analysis, design and implementation of computer-based information and data processing systems. The authors emphasize the role of people, management and quality issues, and consider practical and business realities.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 470-472) and index.
