5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for introduction to IS, April 30, 2002

By	Ganesh Oak (Edison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This is a must-read for anyone who wants an introduction to Information Systems. This must be a prescribed reading for Masters in IS. The book is very relevent even today in the digital era. It covers different aspects of IS from development to managing, local to global. And it is very easy to read too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with Information, April 23, 2002

By	Robert Fantina "BobF" (Whitehorse, YT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a required book for a graduate course I'm taking. It is full of timely information and includes numerous case studies from real companies. These studies help to integrate the information provided so it is more easily understood. The book is not an easy read; no one should expect to be able to skim through it. There is simply too much information for that to be successful. But for a serious student, who will take the time to read the book, it is an excellent resource.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK, but hardware references are outdated
Required for an IT class. Written in 1998, four years old, you'll find lots of outdated material. Some of it is still timely, mostly the theory stuff.
