Editorial Review:
Enterprise Information Systems: A Pattern Based Approach, 3e, by Dunn/Cherrington/Hollander presents a pattern-based approach to designing enterprise information systems with a particular emphasis on the enterprise-wide database. This edition is built on the idea that a separation between accounting information systems and management information systems should not exist. We believe patterns help people see the "big picture" of enterprises more clearly and therefore help design better systems. We believe you cannot identify anything that we need to account for that we do not also need to manage; nor can we identify anything we need to manage that we do not also need to account for. In this edition, we will show how a well-designed REA-based Accounting Information System is the Enterprise Information System. .

Useless 2008-07-19
I have read a lot of texbooks over my college career and this book is the absolute worst. It's confusing, poorly organized, and just plain dull. Sometimes I would read the chapters and start to do the review questions and wonder if I was doing the questions for the wrong chapter! The answers to the questions would be in a completely different chapter or just not in the book at all! How anyone could possibly expected to get anything out of this book is beyond me.
Worst_book 2006-06-06
This book starts off with naive examples to illustrate the point. The illustrations were so childy that make it so rudiculous to read and understand it. Later in the book, the explanations get complicated and vague which confuses readers. Some chapters are more than 50 pages long and after you have read it, you will be more confuse than ever.I am a student and need to read a lot of books. This is by far the worst book I have ever read.
Confusing Content 2006-01-23
This book is not well organized, the content is confusing and messed up, for a student the book talked too much on virtual and vague concept with out well explained , on the other hand the verbose description some times make you thinking, : " WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
Neither fish nor fowl 2005-01-04
I was a student in a college course that used this textbook. I'm happy that I earned the credits for it but not much else. This is a dismal textbook, plain and simple. It starts in chapter 1 where the authors engage in a lofty praise of reengineering. The fact that many reengineering projects did not accomplish the desired results does not even get mentioned by the authors. So much for their research! The rest of the book chiefly focuses on the description of a database based upon the various business processes. The examples show a very complex database. However, the information provided in the book would not be sufficient to design a similar one from scratch. Overall, this book focuses way too much on an academic view of business with little relation to the real world.
