Product Reviews:

Covers a wide range of issues
I read this book for an MBA module and found it very helpful. The book covers a wide range of issues without being too long. Its a great introduction to the material and gives the reader a nice coherent general picture.

Book shipped extremely fast and was just as described. Thanks.

Adequate read for IT courses ( thatcher8 )
I'm reading this in an MBA MIS course. I'm also an IT manager, so I have a little more experience and perception behind what I'm reading.

No IT book is real life. They're mostly theory. This one does a decent job of integrating theory with recent case studies. It would suffice as an adequate IT training book for anyone who may be managing IT or may encounter those working in the field.
