Dear Colleagues


I am looking for a textbook for the course:

This course provides the student with the advanced skills and knowledge required for managing Information Technology development projects. It also introduces and explores the concepts of Management and Leadership in an IT setting and the skills essential for both the business and academic worlds. Topics can include: Organizational behavior and cultural issues that impact IT projects; feasibility studies, risk assessment, and management approaches; project scheduling; cost-benefit analysis, project planning and control; software metrics; project team formation, leadership and management including group behavior and motivation theories that energize individuals; communication and project reporting; and change management. The course involves hands-on exercises, including lab work. The course emphasis is on understanding and developing leadership skills, including contemporary approaches to leadership and studying examples of successful corporate leaders in the IT sector.
