This MIS text gives students and active managers a thorough and practical guide to IT management practices and issues.

This edition covers hardware, software, networks, enterprise systems, e-business systems, and it lays the groundwork for understanding the range of IS leadership roles and current best practices for managing IT assets.

This text is intended to serve as a thorough guide to IT management practices and issues for managers.

My MIS professor was a moron, however, so it's understandable that he would choose this book. IF YOU ARE A PROFESSOR WHO IS NOT A MORON, DO NOT MAKE YOUR STUDENTS SUFFER THROUGH THIS BOOK. Thanks.


This book isn't good   December 15, 2002

Consider the following statement from page 256. Here's some "early lessons" from the "new economy":

Dot-com startups as well as clicks-and-mortar strategies can be viable for B2B for B2C ecommerce if the applications leverage Internet technologies AND a marketplace strength.

Aren't you glad you bought the book? You ALSO need a marketplace strength to be successful, not just the Internet stuff. Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?


USEFUL REFERENCE TOOL   February 1, 2002

I am finding this book as an extremely useful reference tool for writing my senior thesis at Rutgers University (NJ) on the Internet and B2B transactions. I find it very easy to read and useful, and some of the case studies are very interesting and helpful. Some of the other buyers don't seem to think the book is worth its price but I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THEM. I believe the book is worth its price.
