Summary: Very Informative, Excellent layout
Comment: This book was comprehensive and covered a vast amount of material from ethics, and security to Artificial Intelligence and internet technology. Each chapter presented a management challenge and a wealth of great case studies and real world examples of Information Systems including intranets, extranets, VAN's and VPN's. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel my knowledge has definately increased. No, this book will not make you an expert, there are other topic specific books for that, but it will expose you to a wide variety of digital technology and educate you about how it is being used and managed in organazations.

Summary: A book for all levels
Comment: "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: Managers, Sales Rep.'s, MBA-students.... this is a must have
Comment: The emphasis of this book is how organizational change is required to implement an information system. At this point, we have all been involved in new implementations or updates to existing implementation. This book addresses logical approaches to managing the organization during these changes.

This book is **not** for techical administrators; however, it is an ideal resource for the non-technical manager who oversees a technical team, a technical business, or who wants to see the business grow to the Internet or use EDI type processes.

Because it uses current cases to introduce concepts about networking, it would be ideal for a graduate business program.

Because it is well written and clearly defines the key elements of networking, it would be a great desk reference for any business oriented manager or sales rep.
