Format:Hardcover
I am a professor at an Ivy League university who used this book in her undergraduate required IS course. After years of struggling to find an effective textbook for non-IS majors, I have finally succeeded thanks to Prof Piccoli's insightful and engaging text. I recommend this book for undergraduate and graduate courses. The mini-cases and conversational style of the text makes it easy for students to understand the value of information systems in business.

I love my book, it's not only fascinating to read but it arrived very fast, earlier than expected and appreciated. The book was in excellent condition. Thank you very much!
Format:Hardcover
It is totally new. Although it takes one week to arrive, it is still a great deal.

We aren't going to take it anymore!
It may be a good book, but the price is immoral. Students are fighting back against corrupt, greedy text book pricing schemes. Read more

Time Well Spent
I must admit, I was a skeptic. I NEVER thought anything about "IT" (which I now know to be "IS"...) would be interesting to me, but this book proved me wrong. Read more

Best IT Resource for Business
I will definitely keep this book on my shelf. What separates this book from all the other IT texts is the fact that it is written for business people not technology people. Read more
