Book Reviews of Information Systems for Managers: Texts and Cases

Book Review: Understanding IS could never get easier for Managers!
Summary: 5 Stars

After having studied this very book for a semester, I cannot help but reiterate the earlier comments made about this book: it is extremely easy to read, entirely thorough, and highly informative.

Unlike most academic textbooks where only careful sifting and digging through masses of technical jargon will result in information actually sinking in, Gabe Piccoli's book is written is such a reader-friendly way that the information just "sticks" after a first read!

If you are studying or attempting to teach others why, how, and when managers should use IT & IS within their business, this truly is the best that money can buy ...

Summary of Information Systems for Managers: Texts and Cases

Information Systems for Managers is a text for managerial/MBA students intended to actively engage them in discussions and activities around information systems and information technology. Piccoli has interwoven many real-world examples into the text that show students how IS will effect their futures in management positions. Each chapter starts off with a mini-case to get the student's attention, build excitement, and foster interactive discussions. A plethora of unique, full-length cases are also composed within the text to hold student's attention and show them how IS and IT are of great interest to them as managers.
