This review is from: Information, Systems and Information Systems : Making Sense of the Field (Hardcover)
This book is a essential reading for anyone who wants to understand IS and IT problems. For those who want to achieve the BPM benefits this books is a pre-condition for sucess.
If you want to know all about data, information, organizations and how information systems aply to all of it, then read this book. Checkland and Holwell made an great service for the IS community.

useful but not insightful,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Information, Systems and Information Systems : Making Sense of the Field (Hardcover)
This is a good academic book - it reviews the field of information systems (as promised) quite comprehensively and comprehensibly, but doesn't offer much insight. Checkland's own research on soft system methodology doesn't exactly shine here. The chapter on development of radar is interesting (and as far as I know, historically accurate).
What really stands out about this book is that it serves as an excellent literature review - the references are extensive, useful, and on-target. Checkland and Holwell have certainly done a service by writing this book. |
