Summary: An excellent TEXTBOOK with the more current approach.
Comment: It is a BRAVE book that runs against the grains when compared to the regular, run-of-the-mill management information systems book.

This is a TEXT BOOK, for students at the junior level in the US.

What I like about the book is it is brave in accepting TQM, Reengineering and Michael Porter's value chain model as a set of key to gain a strategic prowess.

When a stance is taken as to ACCEPT those, then we don't need to worry about proofs for that stance. Let's just believe them.

Next, those set of systems translate into strategies. Strategies must be quantified, right? When you quantify a strategy by computerizing it then you come face to face with computerized information systems.

Then you'll be asked about Data Communications, Internet (the media that makes those data communicate), the client/server, the data base, the whole bit.

Of course, the text is very kind to include the Economics consideration on the wake of establishing the systems, also included is the systems development aspect when we really want to create an information systems project.

This is an excellent book for those who need a survey on the huge and much threatening field of Management Information Systems - Computer Based.
