Reader Reviews
This review is from: Information Technology for Management Making Connections for Strategic Advantage: Making Connections for Strategic Advantage (Hardcover)
I bought this book as requirement for an MIS class. The book has good graphics, but the authors have tried to cram in a lot of information. As a result, things have'nt been explained systematically. One has to move to a later chapter to look for things discussed earlier. The quality of writing leaves much to be desired. In a nutshell, the book is only ordinary. It is much like a glossy story book for children, certainly not worth the price.
