Too many annoying grammatical errors and not enough useful information
December 15, 2019
I actually used the 11th edition for my Management Information Systems course for the fall of 2019, which cost more than going to Vormir to make a sacrifice for the Soul Stone.
This was very readable and worthwhile, even for someone like me just starting out in MIS studies. You won't be intimidated by too much tech jargon. Everything is very simple, and conveyed in a real world sense. I especially like the ongoing start-up saga that began every chapter. It was like getting a fun little novel to help the drier tech stuff go down easier.
Another good feature is the Career Highlight section near the end of every chapter. One thing I love about the Business School versus Liberal Arts is the focus on employment and having skills the market needs. So much in LA is theoretical and pointless other than fun trivia games. MIS grounds itself in the real world, and makes it clear how important it is for our rapidly changing business landscape. The writer Kroenke doesn't call MIS the most important business course for nothing.
Another great feature is the 2029 pieces at the close of every chapter, where changes in the future are prognosticated. As someone who is always striving to improve himself, even if incrementally, it was refreshing to see values reflecting self-improvement and readiness in a college textbook.
If I have any complains, they don't necessarily involve the book itself, but the course I took. I work full-time, so I'm taking online classes only, and I can't say I'm too pleased. I wish that my course had been more interactive. I'm the type that learns best through example and mentoring rather than just regurgitating whatever I've read from a book. I think it is especially important to learn this way when it comes to anything involving technology. I would have liked a chance to actually interact with some of the terms and programs the book talks about. Or maybe worked on some collaborative project in a kind of mock start-up assignment or something.
Would I recommend this class or textbook to others? Yes, I think both techies and non-techies will find it useful and worthwhile. Though, if tech already starts your motor, you'll likely already know a lot of the stuff, or at least know stuff that's worthwhile to learn for employability.

Textbook for one of my classes. It was a decent overview of the subject. The writing was sometimes wordy and concepts were often explained in unclear terms.

I'm not sure what it says about my personality, but I loved this book. It was the asigned text for my Information Services Management course, and I expected the typical dry, boring technology reading, which it wasn't. The book is an excellent resource for anyone new to using information technology in the work environment beyond a typical base user level. I would think it would be great even for someone wanting to just get a better understanding of basic technology such as how the Internet works and the correlations between hardware and software. The chapter about TCP/IP technology is one of the best that I have come across.

This book is a great text for learning the basics of MIS. It really explains how even non-MIS majors/practioners can use MIS to their advantage.
