1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious, dry read., July 15, 2002

This review is from: Introduction to Information Systems: Essentials for the Internetworked E-Business Enterprise (Hardcover)

This is one of the most difficult texts I've studied. It limps along, feeling as though it interrupts itself. It is a tedious read, poorly organized, and featureless as the Sahara.

This review is from: Introduction to Information Systems: Essentials for the Internetworked E-Business Enterprise (Hardcover)

Well, I can just say this book is NOT worth the price it sells for. Yes, as with any book you may learn a few thinks butfor the price it sells it should have been written better. I just bought it because I had to. For class.

2.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to computer confusion, September 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Introduction to Information Systems: Essentials for the Internetworked E-Business Enterprise (Hardcover)

This book is full of terminology that isn't used in the real world. It seems the goal is to get the reader to accept the author's version of what's going on in the dynamic world of managing organizations in the computer age. There is no structure to the theories presented and there are too many unneeded terms and not enough substance. If you're trying to learn how computer systems function in the real world you'll really be confused after reading this book.
