This is one of the best information systems books I've ever used. My college course requires this textbook. If anyone is interested to learn about the management of information systems, then this is the perfect book for you.

The speed of delivery to Saudi Arabia was fantastic. I'm currently finishing my degree online and needed this exact book. With the expedited delivery the book was on its way, through customs and into my hands within the week. Thanks!

I purchased the book Principles of Information Systems for a master's level class I am taking. The book was delivered on time and in good condition. I will consider purchasing from this vendor again in the future.
 Good coverage but examples get in the way June 26, 2006

As expected, this book provides a general overview of information systems, including the nature of information, the components of an information system, how information systems are used in businesses, design and implementation techniques, and security considerations. I appreciate the broad coverage this book offers, as well as the infusion of real-world examples and case studies throughout the book. However, the inclusion of examples gets a little annoying when it interferes with the authors' explanation of a concept. At some points in the book, I felt that the authors included examples that didn't make sense considering what they were trying to explain. Much of the space could have contained a little more in-depth information, rather than the "peppering" of examples that may or may not be relevant. The book provides a good starting place for readers to discover their interests in the field, but the writing style was disappointing.
