Essentials of Business Driven Information Systems Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a required text for college level MIS class. The book was well layed out with lots of graphics and interesting facts. Learning objectives outline each section, making the text easy to digest. Several case studies at the end of each chapter encouraged me to exercise the concepts I learned in the corresponding chapter. The online content for this book is good, containing practice quizes for each chapter as well as slide presentations. I did not purchase the iPod content, but imagine it would be as well presented as the other material. Great book for students.

Business Driven Information Systems Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can pretty much judge this one by its cover. It's very shiny and contains a grammatical error right in the title. Nearly half of the book is occupied by graphics and other visual aids. Personally, I felt like I was developing ADD reading this book. I was constantly being diverted away from the text by figures that more often than not added nothing of value. The book is fairly shallow and is oriented to young business majors with zero technical background. One positive aspect was that it provided plenty of real-world examples. For those from CS or MIS backgrounds, this is certainly not worth the ~$120; you probably already know half the book already. For business majors I can't judge, although I would consider it to be a light introduction. A must have for connoisseurs of shiny objects.
