This review is from: MIS Cases: Decision Making with Application Software (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

This book should be renamed as "Adventures in Microsoft Office".

The book has almost nothing to do with MIS or managing information systems. Instead it is just a collection of exercises related to Microsoft Office's Excel and Access.

Given the content of the book, it definitely does not justify the exorbitant price...
