Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This is a cool book ...
TO BURN! I hate it and so does everyone else who has read it. The authors are smart but they wrote the book for bung-junkies who smoke doobies and don't care about information technology. To answer a question in chapter 2, you have to read chapter 10 first. That's great if you have 3-cheek buttloads of free time and you're high off of laundry detergent and paint thinner, but not for me. Why are the questions so stinking hard?!? I think this book is used to brainwash us and make us more compliable. ... Read More
Rating: - one of eight books on IS to stay away from

Its chapters feature lengthy and overly verbose descriptions of fairly basic terms, and far too many case studies and examples. Of course, such examples are important, however the present work tends to rely upon third-party analyses of IT/IS installations, making one wonder whether Turban, McLean, and Wetherbe are in fact authors, or merely just librarians compiling information ...

Rating:  - Good for MIS
In the MIS department of a multinational company, the survival skills are not thorough knowledge of VB, ASP, PowerBuilder or JCL, but the overall understanding of company's huge system. You don't do coding step by step by ask for outsourcing. This book shows the computer system blueprints of big corporations. When you bosses ask you about what's the future of company Intranet, you better be able to give him/her a satisfactory answer in terms of company¡¦s overall profit/loss.
But if you want to be a creative ... Read More
