3.0 out of 5 stars Not sufficient for the DANTES MIS test, October 14, 2000

By	DISenchanted (NM USA -Land of DISenchantment) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Management Information Systems: Organization and Technology in the Networked Enterprise (Hardcover)

The recommended reading list for the DANTES management information systems test listed "Management Information Systems: Organization and Technology by Kenneth and Jane Laudon" current edition. [Although this particular book's title is "Management Information Systems: organization and technology in the networked Enterprise"]

This one appeared to be the latest book that Kenneth and Jane Laudon had available.

The content was okay, but not sufficient to pass the DANTES MIS test. I had to supplement my studying with the MIS book by James A. O'Brien. If you are looking for a textbook to use for passing the DANTES MIS test, use the James A. O'Brien book.

The layout of the book is VERY distracting. Not an easy read. Not smooth flowing due to the hideous layout. The book's graphics designer probably thinks it's a work of art. But then they probably only had to "look" at it, not actually TRY to read it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, Excellent layout, May 13, 2002

By	dannomite "Dan Maltes" (Cornwall, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm (7th Edition) (Hardcover)

This book was comprehensive and covered a vast amount of material from ethics, and security to Artificial Intelligence and internet technology. Each chapter presented a management challenge and a wealth of great case studies and real world examples of Information Systems including intranets, extranets, VAN's and VPN's. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel my knowledge has definately increased. No, this book will not make you an expert, there are other topic specific books for that, but it will expose you to a wide variety of digital technology and educate you about how it is being used and managed in organazations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for all levels, January 28, 2002

By	Kenneth Wessel (Hovik Norway) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm (7th Edition) (Hardcover)

"Management Information Systems" provides an adequate general knowledge of the theme, a blend between technical/SW development knowledge and general managerial experience. It is very easy to read thanks to a nice predicable divition and layout.
Cases are quite good and summons up every chapter. Cases are showing examples from different countries and cultures.
The books' major strength is that it is understandable for readers with all types of background. This is also quite boring, because the authors are using a lot of words to explain quite basic facts known by 90% of the readers from the "real world".
