Very Informative, Excellent layout
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.

Managers, Sales Rep.'s, MBA-students.... this is a must have
The emphasis of this book is how organizational change is required to implement an information system. At this point, we have all been involved in new implementations or updates to existing implementation. This book addresses logical approaches to managing the organization during these changes. This book is **not** for techical administrators; however, it is an ideal resource for the non-technical manager who oversees a technical team, a technical business, or who wants to see the business grow to the Internet or use EDI type processes.
Because it uses current cases to introduce concepts about networking, it would be ideal for a graduate business program.
Because it is well written and clearly defines the key elements of networking, it would be a great desk reference for any business oriented manager or sales rep.

Reviewing the reviews
...two (7th) editions are available. One of these (7th) editions comes with a CD and one doesen't. In addition, one ISBN # will not necessarily lead to the other. Finally and more importantly, Are the CD's more useful?
Does this create different text? If so, is it significant enough to infleunce choice due to use/needs. Given that this book is suposed to be about Management Information Systems, I'd have to say the information concept needs some work. Similar Products
