book review  2004-03-16
This book came to me in great condition and the sender sent it extremely fast. The sender was kind and considerate and ensured that I recieved the book. I am very happy with my purchase.
Very Good Book 2003-08-07
The Book gives the best insight for Information systems and its application to the real world. I congratulate the authors for this. I am reading the B.Sc. in Business and Computing at the University of Malta and I have successfully done two assignments and two exams on informatuion systems. The Help I got from this book is great and it is like having the tutor at home.
Not recommended...  2003-07-26
Did not like format of book and added-value from web-site is minimal. A study guide or comprehensive chapter outlines would be helpful - neither are available.
Essentials of Management Information Systems by Laudon  2003-07-18
I've taught approximately 34 sections of collegiate courses
including MIS, Law, Economics, Accounting, Statistics and
College Algebra. This text is a good general introduction
into the area of MIS. It explains basic definitions and
provides an organizational hierarchy or framework for
strategic systems, MIS, Knowledge-based systems and
artificial intelligence, operational systems etc. It is a
good introduction to MIS because students need an overall
framework to apply the technology. They cannot get this
framework from computer programming alone. The Laudon text
provides many diagrams, system flow charts, CD-ROM
supplements and a plethora of meaningful learning tools.
At the end of the work, the author includes a number of
fairly complicated case studies which provide random
operational facts which students must organize utilizing
the MIS technology taught in the Laudon text. My students
did well in the course and enjoyed the rigorous presentation.
This text is not for the mediocre student. It is geared
for the B or better student.
Quick scan on everything related to MIS and computing  2002-06-20
I read this book in order to find essentials of enterprise information systems (ERP, document management) explained to be useful for under-graduate students. This book however discusses everything related to computers and just covers lots of individual subjects without getting deep enough in any of them. The result is a mess that lacks focus. For university use this book handles things too generally. It also contains inaccuracies of some techniques explained which shouldn't be the case on textbooks. Some problems are certainly due to the fast development in IT industry and this books too large focus to have current facts right. This book is useful only to people with no prior knowledge of computers and information systems as an introduction to what all there is. Then they can buy books with proper focus individual subjects to really learn these things. I'd hate to work as an engineer in a company run by business people with MIS knowledge only according to this book.
