Managers, Sales Rep.'s, MBA-students.... this is a must have
The emphasis of this book is how organizational change is required to implement an information system. At this point, we have all been involved in new implementations or updates to existing implementation. This book addresses logical approaches to managing the organization during these changes. This book is **not** for techical administrators; however, it is an ideal resource for the non-technical manager who oversees a technical team, a technical business, or who wants to see the business grow to the Internet or use EDI type processes. Because it uses current cases to introduce concepts about networking, it would be ideal for a graduate business program. Because it is well written and clearly defines the key elements of networking, it would be a great desk reference for any business oriented manager or sales rep.

Reviewing the reviews
...two (7th) editions are available. One of these (7th) editions comes with a CD and one doesen't. In addition, one ISBN # will not necessarily lead to the other. Finally and more importantly, Are the CD's more useful?
Does this create different text? If so, is it significant enough to infleunce choice due to use/needs. Given that this book is suposed to be about Management Information Systems, I'd have to say the information concept needs some work.

An outstanding learning resource
This book uses every educational technique known to man-kind: there are real-life applications, how-to, Q&A, web-based study guides and so one. The book is written in a logical, rational format that is interesting as well as informative. There are concept questions and answers at the end of each chapter to ensure the reader "gets" it. If you do not learn info systems at the beginner and intermediate level with this book, your are brain-dead. The person who panned this book is an intellectual snob, not a student.
