Summary: Verbose without clarity - a "0" for this waste of paper
Review: After reading dozens of technical texts, I was so extremely disgusted with the text I feel compelled to suggest that students urge their professors replace this book with Marakas or something similar. The Turban-Aronson so-called book is as follows:
Content - unfocused, left the victim (customer) feeling that the authors were paid by the word. In some instances the book had up to six definitions for a word, and failed to arrive at the best definition!
Sequence of Chapters - messy back and forth with the same topic rather than integrating; authors milked the publisher for more pages.
Glossary - fails to define the words as described in the chapter material - sadly fell short for most words.
Website Companion - matched the book; out of sequence chapters with messy, unfocused explanations that were extremely verbose.Prentic Hall should oust this book and replace with Marakas ISBN 013744186-X, urge your professor to do the right thing and get rid of this terrible waste of paper.

Summary: The worse text book ever
Review: I am currently using this textbook for my undergraduate course. The whole class complains on how the books gives one definition for one thing and then turn around and provide a totally diffent definition. We all find it really difficult to concentrate reading this book, when there is no color or any outlines to go by.

Summary: A MUST READ!!!
Review: I found this book to be extremely insightful and helped me in understanding DSS's. The authors must be commended on their style and logical approach to this textbook. The book successfully take a complex system and presents it in an interesting format with real-world examples. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about DSS's.

Summary: What the heck are you talking about!
Review: Indeed, it is verbose. Many URLs are either out of date or incorrect. I read it as my grad text. Not much help but a lot of confusion. The book is not well organized in offering pertaining information. I expected bullet listing the softwares used for KM, ES shell etc.

Summary: A little lengthy, but very complete
Review: Like most books of this nature, it's hard to describe all the aspects of DSSs and ISs in short, easy-to-remember 'soundbites', as some of my fellow reviewers seem require. Perhaps that's just a cultural thing.. If you're passionate about the subject, or just highly motivated to learn about it, then this is the book for you. You might have a lot to read, but you certainly wont be left with any unanswered questions !

Summary: Some good content, but hard to get to
Review: Our class recently used this as a textbook for a graduate program. The entire class commented on how difficult the book was to read. With all of the notations within the text and the short stories or sometimes explanations of material it was hard to pick out the content. There were parts of chapter 17 that bordered on un-readable. Someone need to find a better was to layout the book. And why are there questions for review and question for discussion? I didn't see the point in splitting them up.

Summary: Wrong Book with Right Intesion
Review: The author has lost the track. He should have concentrated in
one area than mixing up all topics. The presentation is
really bad for readers to understand. As most of the reader mentioned, there is a need for a good book in this area, but this is not the right one.
