Managerial Guidelines

  • Chapter
Software Reuse

Part of the book series: Software Science and Engineering ((SSEN))

Abstract

There are those who argue that the only significant impediments to successful software reuse are technical in nature; and, some argue that if only we can solve the management problems, we can achieve success in reuse. We are of the opinion that serious consideration must be given to both technical and managerial issues in order to achieve success—much as is true for software engineering in general. Lack of attention to either management or technical issues would almost certainly result in failure. We thus focus on the managerial issues in this chapter, and deal with technical issues in chapter 3.
