Summary: Essentials of Management Information Systems
Comment: This book is not just expensive, it contains enough misdirection and inaccuracy to make it difficult going. Add to this the extremely busy style and excesive use of graphics, and statements such as (paraphrase) "Look at the diagram at the beginning of each chapter for the answer to all your questions....."

These diagrams are almost incomprehensible and don't attempt to show a logical flow.

Summary: Quick scan on everything related to MIS and computing
Comment: I read this book in order to find essentials of enterprise information systems (ERP, document management) explained to be useful for under-graduate students. This book however discusses everything related to computers and just covers lots of individual subjects without getting deep enough in any of them. The result is a mess that lacks focus. For university use this book handles things too generally. It also contains inaccuracies of some techniques explained which shouldn't be the case on textbooks. Some problems are certainly due to the fast development in IT industry and this books too large focus to have current facts right. This book is useful only to people with no prior knowledge of computers and information systems as an introduction to what all there is. Then they can buy books with proper focus individual subjects to really learn these things. I'd hate to work as an engineer in a company run by business people with MIS knowledge only according to this book.

Summary: A MIS TREATISE
Comment: here is a book which progresses from intermediate to the expert levels. an excellent book for any and all students who have started or already started studying and implementing management information systems. the lucidly written chapters and the excellent presentation style means that the readers have not to tax their minds at all but sit back and enjoy along with the author and at the same time become an expert
