Providing an essential resource for both researchers and users of GIS technology, this book covers a range of institutional issues relating to the implementation and management of these issues in both the public and private sectors. Grounded in management and social science theory, this book is an ideal reference for agency managers, analysts, and project managers in public and private organisations who work with GISs.
