Summary: Warning....
Review: Be forthwarned.... I ordered the 3rd ed. of this book and received the 2nd ed. instead. The seller was misleading under the comments section of the book he sold me..... a new listing shows that he's selling the 2nd ed. and not the 3rd ed. He changed this comment once he received an email from me stating otherwise. He wouldn't offer me a refund for the book and now I'm stuck with this one for a class which begins in a week.

Summary: Management Information Systems for the Information Age
Review: I have used (and continue to use) this text for a college class on MIS. It's among the best textbooks I've ever come across. The book is filled with real world stories of real companies and how they have improved their competitive positions using IT. It also contains numerous 15-25 minute group activities and "On Your Own" assignments. Each chapter ends with a list of Key Terms, as well as several short answer and discussion questions.Finally, and what I like most about the text, is a section on "Real HOT Group Projects." Many of these require creation of database reports or spread sheet pivot tables. So, you may find yourself diverting some time to teaching spreadsheet and database skills. But how can you teach the application of technology to managing and creating information, without actually using technology to do just that?

Summary: Not just a technology book - a business person's tech book!
Review: In this book, Steve, Maeve and I strived to demonstrate, in easy to understand language, how businesses use technology to serve customers. The book is loaded with hundreds of business examples from today's headlines. Let me know what you think!

Summary: It's the wrong book
Review: There seem to have been a mistake in the shipping of the product I ordered. I was under the impression that I was ordering Management Information Systems for the Information Age by Stephen Haag, et al 2nd Edition (2000). However, I recieved the book today (3/11/02) and it is the 1st Edition (1998), and I need the book for class which begins on Thursday, 03/14/02.

Summary: Good and easy explanations
Review: These concepts are so vague and open to interpretation - the book does a good job of explaining them. It doesn't try to pigeon hole you into the authors way of thinking about these (which is most often the case). Good reading for the aspiring manager or the experienced manager.
