Book Reviews of Information Systems Management (8th Edition)
Book Review: Reviewer
Summary: 2 Stars
We used this book for an MBA course meant to help the average manager make IT decisions. Although parts of the book were interesting, the professor and nearly all of the students in the class did not like the book. Several chapters can be eliminated without missing anything. Organization is poor. Information is redundant. Perhaps if this were an online text it would allow for more real time updating of content to make it more interesting. No color images are used but yet it is still very expensive. Figures are not interesting. This text could be improved for use in an MBA introductory course by cutting out 25-50% of the material and making it much more readable to the non IT expert.
