Not as up-to-date as an information systems book should be, but it had a few attempts at humor that didn't fall too flat and I suppose it was educational enough.

I often felt like I needed additional material to fill in the gaps left by this book.

This textbook was for my Business Systems class at UoP.

Kind of a waste of time because it was so outdated.
