Reviews of first edition
'This is a book that seems destined for management bookshelves.' - Computing, June 1995
'Required reading for anyone responsible for substantial budgets.' - Long Range Planning, February 1996
'Strategic Information Management is an excellent MBA text..[it] is an excellent collation of the material that should be included in such courses to help protect credulous users from wasting yet more time and effort on inefficient, user-hostile and irrelevant IT systems promoted by the immature technophiliacs who are all too common to both suppliers and users.' - Books for MBAs, April 1996
'This review can only scratch the surface of this comprehensive, well-structured and presented book. For anyone with the least involvement in managing the handling of information at a strategic level in any organization it is essential reading.'
