A wonderful and insightful read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm, Second Canadian Edition (Hardcover)
This textbook was an excellent overall learning experience. Along with the online support website, multiple choice quizes, short answer questions, etc, I learnt a great deal in the field of M.I.S., including how to use Microsoft Access to create databases.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!,
By EM "E" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm, Second Canadian Edition (Hardcover)
If you need this book for a MIS course, borrow it from somewhere but DO NOT BUY! To begin with, the authors of this book do not know how to write about a subject in an interesting way. To top it all off, each chapter is very long with a lot of unneeded sentences. Also, the book over generalizes everything which is the absolute main flaw with the way it was written. The diagrams for each concept do not make things any better. Its like they're there to make the book prettier but thats it. Also, the sequence of the topics is not intuitive making it easy to get lost in the material. There's so much more I can say but I think I've said enough. Take my advice and please DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!
