Introduction to Information Systems

by James A. O'Brien

Introduction to Information Systems, 8/E is written for business students with a business end-user focus. This point of view has been the primary reason behind the book's success over seven editions. The text contains traditional coverage of the topics that support business information systems literacy. O'Brien's 8E gives students less theory and more on the basic building blocks to understand the concepts and technology necessary to become intelligent users of information systems. Contrast this text with the more theory-oriented, higher-level O'Brien-MIS 3e that is geared toward managers more than end-users of information systems.

[Haytham Badawey · Rating 2 out of 5]

IS is a very important topic nowadays, this book summarizes a huge deal of information and facts about IT, most of its contents are well known to everyone, but many topics are brand new to me. So I can say I learned new lessons from this book and it can be used as a reference. Also, the case studies are not bad.

very good

[Moataz · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a very nice book about business especially for beginners, but it's trivial for computer science students in the technical sides. I think that it's a good choice for anyone who doesn't study computer science and wants to start his own software or hardware startup.
