Foundations of Information Systems

This book is loaded with information, and is very useful. I always refer to it when it comes for Information Systems and I always find what I need in it. I recommend it to anyone who seriously loves Information Systems

This is a must-read for anyone who wants an introduction to Information Systems. This must be a prescribed reading for Masters in IS. The book is very relevent even today in the digital era. It covers different aspects of IS from development to managing, local to global. And it is very easy to read too!

This is a required book for a graduate course I'm taking. It is full of timely information and includes numerous case studies from real companies. These studies help to integrate the information provided so it is more easily understood. The book is not an easy read; no one should expect to be able to skim through it. There is simply too much information for that to be successful. But for a serious student, who will take the time to read the book, it is an excellent resource.

This book provides a good overview of IS for non-technical readers and those who are new to IS field. Being hard-core techie and very well exposed to IS field, I did not find this book so enlightening. To be fair, it does however cover some aspects of IS that are completely ignored by even hardcore techies such as ethical, human and societal impacts of IS and so on.This book can be a good reading for an introductory course at undergrad and probably at grad level but cetainly not for advanced level courses.

This is the suggested text book for Masters in Information Systems. Very well written book about the basics of Information Systems.
