Product Description
This new edition of Principles of Information Systems builds on the successful pedagogy of its previous editions and goes the distance to provide a new and highly comprehensive IS textbook. Experienced authors Ralph Stair and George Reynolds keep their readers engaged with the main concepts of the IS discipline via clear learning objectives, which are reinforced with up-to-date business examples and hands-on practice. The revised coverage includes increased global and career emphasis, extensive end-of-chapter material, and the integration of MIS Video and the MIS Companion CD.

 Great Book February 11, 2007

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.
 Good coverage but examples get in the way June 26, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

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!
