Summary: Informative and up-to-date summary for non-computer students
Review: This book is an essential for those students who know nothing about computers, networks and the internet. It gives good examples, suggests web sites to visit for interactive learning and is run alongside the web site for the book with essay questions, multiple choice questions etc.

Summary: Essentials of Management Information Systems
Review: This book is not just expensive, it contains enough misdirection and inaccuracy to make it difficult going. Add to this the extremely busy style and excesive use of graphics, and statements such as (paraphrase) "Look at the diagram at the beginning of each chapter for the answer to all your questions....."These diagrams are almost incomprehensible and don't attempt to show a logical flow.

Summary: good book and very modern
Review: 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. I have a background in MIS fortunately for me, my classmates are not so lucky. Great if you need a definition for a fax machine!

Summary: Very good introduction to Managing an Information System
Review: 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.

Summary: good book and very modern
Review: what i liked most in this book are the unique mgt challenges section and the mgt wrap-up section, plus the nice graphics and colors of the book. however, the book is very easy to understand and too simple thus making me wonder if i am learning the essentials as much as the mis majors do.
