From the Publisher:

This is a new book in a relatively new field of study; there is no other book like it on the market. The research takes place at the interface between the Information Systems department found in Business Schools and the Computer Science department found in Engineering Schools. This book highlights the upsurge in research activity in this area.
Students from both disciplines will find this material readily understandable and it will provide a strong foundation for participation in development partnership teams.
The text is comprehensive, it includes all the classic and most late-breaking articles in the software project management area.
Chris Kemerer is known as an international authority on this topic and has taught the subject at MIT's Sloan School, Wharton and now the Katz Graduate School of Management at University of Pittsburgh.
Case studies, End-of-Chapter discussion questions, a clear theme to each chapter, such as prototyping, cost estimating, etc., a structured organization to the readings, and text material that ties cases and readings together.
