Principles of Information Systems at Dominant Systems Book Store

"I consider this the best and most important chapter in the book. Coupling TPS with ERPs is very smart and really works well. Outstanding integration of all systems descriptions from CRM to TPS, inventory systems to accounting all the way to payroll, even EDI. Students rarely understand the big picture, but this point is vital to understanding how IT works in companies today. Well done!" - Howard Sundwall, West Chester University --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Customer Reviews & Comments
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.
