".a vital source of information for developing the robust infrastructure that is essential if a GIS implementation is to reach.Mandatory reading for anyone, whether in the public, private, commercial or academic sector, considering jumping onto the GIS bandwagon!" --Gary J. Robinson in The Geographical Journal
"the authors have provided an overview of management concerns in using GIS and have been successful in accomplishing their goals. Someone without much background could easily read this book and come away with an understanding of some of the basic management questions associated with the adoption of GIS." --Robert G. Cromley, Professional Geographer
"Especially recommended to those interested in teaching students how to set up a geographic information system." --Michael Curry, University of California, Los Angeles
"In past years, I've researched this wide range of literature myself, and I wish this book had been around to save me the time. Now every GIS student and practitioner can pick up the basics in a few hours." --Rebecca Somers, President of Somers-St. Claire, GIS Management Consultants in Fairfax, Virginia.
"This book is a wonderful summary of a wide range of literature on this important topic. It is necessary reading for anyone interested in understanding management issues in GIS." --William J. Craig, Ph.D, University of Minnesota
"Obermeyer and Pinto address important concerns centered on the adoption and implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) within firms and agencies. The points made typically are not handled in other works.An excellent supplement.Upper-division undergraduate; graduate; professional." --Social & Behavioral Sciences
"This book provides a guide to organizational and behavioral dynamics that can determine where a GIS should be used and how it may be successfully employed." --Sage Urban Studies Abstracts
"it is important to emphasize the significance of this new text on managing GIS technology, in view of the immaturity of the field, dearth of GIS management literature, and lack of urban applications. Planners will be interested in book's ideas." --APA Journal
"I highly recommend Managing Geographic Information Systems for GIS professionals and managers who are or will be involved in implementing a GIS within an organization. In my opinion, no other book available provides the depth of information and discussion about approaches to management and implementation of a GIS in an oragnizational setting."/m-/The Pennsylvania Geographer 34:1
