Summary: This book isn't good
Review: Consider the following statement from page 256. Here's some "early lessons" from the "new economy":Dot-com startups as well as clicks-and-mortar strategies can be viable for B2B for B2C ecommerce if the applications leverage Internet technologies AND a marketplace strength. Aren't you glad you bought the book? You ALSO need a marketplace strength to be successful, not just the Internet stuff. Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Summary: This book isn't good
Review: I am finding this book as an extremely useful reference tool for writing my senior thesis at Rutgers University (NJ) on the Internet and B2B transactions. I find it very easy to read and useful, and some of the case studies are very interesting and helpful. Some of the other buyers don't seem to think the book is worth its price but I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THEM. I believe the book is worth its price.

Summary: Or what managing IT used to be
Review: I like the book because it tells so well where the Information technology is coming from. A strong plus is the excellent collection of case studies provided. This is the best part of the book. By themselves, they are worth the purchase of the book. Part I of the book, is a review of the technology base and provides the MIS literacy required for the rest of the text. For a current practionner, it can be skipped over without missing much. Part II presents the application of IT. It covers all the bases but would benefits by an update to include the most recents developments. Particularly, the e-commerce section is too general to be very useful in this new century. Part III covers the acquisition process very well. Finally Part IV would be a good introduction to another book about strategic planning for IT. Overall a good textbook for a would be Manager in a fast moving field.

Summary: Text is often Inacurate or Outright Incorrect
Review: No way! There is no way that this book is worth (the money)! As usual, the college textbook market continues to drastically inflate the price of textbooks. Some textbooks are useful at least as a reference...not this one. While it does contain all of the latest buzzwords, if this is what we are arming the leaders of tomorrow with... Buy it if you must for a class, however, keep your receipt and prepare to get ripped off at buyback time!
