Summary: Integrating Technology and Management
Review: I have been using this book for two years to teach a senior level management class how technology is used in today's business. As most of instructors would agree, it is sometimes (or always) difficult to draw management students' interest in technical issues. If you use this book, that wouldn't be a problem at all. Supporting the topics in the book by some case studies from contemporary business would even make your course indispensable.

Summary: Easy to read and understand
Review: I used this book for an internet class so i ended up reading the entire book from chapter one to the end. It was a little boring at times, but it made it easy to understand the material and the diagrams were great. The only annoying thing was how in the first few chapters it kept saying what was beyond the scope of the book and what chapter you will be studying what and when. Stick to the material.

Summary: Great Book for Beginners
Review: One of my networking classes for IST required this book. I've read chapters 1,2,3,4,5,6, & 12. I actually enjoy reading this textbook and look forward to reading more chapters. Other students in my class enjoy reading it too. It goes into just enough details about the electronics behind the scene but nothing to extensive. It also provides a great overview about networks, without over welling the reader with tedious facts. The book starts out about the OSI model and then walks the reader through each layer. It is a great book and I would encourage any instructor seeking a textbook to test this one out, your students will be glad you did. *Also useful for someone interested in networking for the first time or someone who wants to see the whole picture.
