This review is from: SAP R/3 System: Introduction & Fundamentals of R/3 Technology (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)

I'm not sure of the market for this book. It's too general to be of use to technical staff and provides too much detail for management or an end-user. Seeing as this is the author's second SAP book - I was expecting more.
