I read this book in order to find essentials of enterprise information systems (ERP, document management) explained to be useful for under-graduate students. This book however discusses everything related to computers and just covers lots of individual subjects without getting deep enough in any of them. The result is a mess that lacks focus. For university use this book handles things too generally. It also contains inaccuracies of some techniques explained which shouldn’t be the case on textbooks. Some problems are certainly due to the fast development in IT industry and this books too large focus to have current facts right. This book is useful only to people with no prior knowledge of computers and information systems as an introduction to what all there is. Then they can buy books with proper focus individual subjects to really learn these things. I’d hate to work as an engineer in a company run by business people with MIS knowledge only according to this book.

Inane and cursory at best.
This book is one of the worst I’ve had to use in recent memory. Outdated with somewhat interesting yet detached case studies.

book review
This book came to me in great condition and the sender sent it extremely fast. The sender was kind and considerate and ensured that I recieved the book.
This text book is a good starting place for managers to learn about information systems and how to implement them into their own companies. I bought this book for a class on information systems, and not only did I find the book very thorough, but the web site gives the readers a chance to understand what they read by providing outlines and brief quizzes. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about computer based information systems, or wants to stay up to date on current business practices.

Not recommended…
Did not like format of book and added-value from web-site is minimal. A study guide or comprehensive chapter outlines would be helpful - neither are available.

This book is not just expensive, it contains enough misdirection and inaccuracy to make it difficult going.

Nice book for the 80’s
This book is utter tripe. I am forced to use it in an MBA program and now I know less about MIS than I did before.
