DESCRIPTION:
"If you have to read this for your class I'd be sorry for you" according to Shaw. This textbook is poorly organized. It may confuse you in so many ways.The author introduces some abbreviated words before he actually introduces them.I have to admit that my understanding of MIS was not that great and neither was my reading skill. However, if he was a good author I think he should have rephrased to explain terminologies instead of using the same words to define them and hoping that readers would understand.On top on that examples he gives us are not really what most of us(I mean, people who are learning MIS for the first time) are familiar wi. Very helpful. Matthew E. Deslandes This textbook is well written. It breaks down MIS to the most simplistic of terms so that there isn't much confusion. The examples used reflect today's complex world. The chapters read easily and quickly. On top of this, Professor McKinney was one of my graduate professors and would remind you of Bill Nye, the Science guy. He was one of the most creative, cool, and well liked professors at Bowling Green State University. Most of my cohorts would also vouch for that.. Don Hall said Requires Excellent Instructor - Loaded with Info!. Loaded with information, facts and solid information. Suggest to buy only the older edition - you will be happier and wealthier.Info is overwhelming without a thorough - clear, understandable instructor (most likely with hands on MIS experience). $5.00is a good deal as it has no resale value ($1.50 this year?) I would never spend current edition prices for it though.
