Summary: A book for all levels
Review: "Management Information Systems" provides an adequate general knowledge of the theme, a blend between technical/SW development knowledge and general managerial experience. It is very easy to read thanks to a nice predicable divition and layout.
Cases are quite good and summons up every chapter. Cases are showing examples from different countries and cultures.
The books' major strength is that it is understandable for readers with all types of background. This is also quite boring, because the authors are using a lot of words to explain quite basic facts known by 90% of the readers from the "real world".

Summary: Reviewing the reviews
Review: ...two (7th) editions are available. One of these (7th) editions comes with a CD and one doesen't. In addition, one ISBN # will not necessarily lead to the other. Finally and more importantly, Are the CD's more useful?
Does this create different text? If so, is it significant enough to infleunce choice due to use/needs. Given that this book is suposed to be about Management Information Systems, I'd have to say the information concept needs some work.

Summary: Hopeless Book if you want to learn strategy
Review: Absolutely repetitive and purposeless content, distracting graphics, pointless pictures and a completely out of touch information for the most part. I am not sure why Prentice Hall published such a book. There are places where the facts are incorrect too! The book can be put in 30-40 "meaningful" pages.You can definitely find better MIS books out there unless you want to learn the evolution of computers and information systems, starting with vaccuum tubes, etc.

Summary: A technology book with the latest, relevent examples!
Review: Expensive text book used in our class (National University CST635), however, it has a good content.; CON: Topic titles in the chapters are a little bit too fancy with style and color. As a result of being distracting.

Summary: The book is not intuitive
Review: I am a computer programmer and had to use this book as a requirement for CIS class for my MBA degree. In my class I did not meet a single person who liked the book or found it satisfactory. I don't claim that I know everything about MIS. But the terms I knew are not explained well in the book. And it is very hard to understand terms I did not know. To illustrate my point, here is book's definition of the term 'hypertext markup language (html)' - "Page description language for creating Web pages and other hypermedia documents." In my opinion you don't explain word 'hypertext' with 'hypermedia'. "Page description language for creating Web pages" doesn't sound intuitive either. Most of the definitions sound like that. The only positive thing was that Book Store gave me 50% of the book price back when I returned it.

Summary: Management Information Systems
Review: I had to read this book for a graduate-level class. It's content is actually more suitable for the high-school level. The text's focus on artificial categories and terms does a disservice to someone actually trying to learn about information systems.
