Required Text for MBA class 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 16 people found this review helpful.

The text seems ok and is fairly easy to read.

It's the INTERNATIONAL EDITION 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I thought I'd put that in there because no one seems to want to specify, GENERAL RULE OF THUMB, IF IT IS PAPERBACK IT IS THE INTERNATIONAL EDITION, HARDBACK USUALLY MEANS THAT IT IS THE U.S. EDITION. in comparison of the 2, the text is usually pretty close to the same, some information may be on different pages but the problems at the end of each chapter are always different. I don't advise getting the international edition if you are studying in the U.S.

Erroneously picked up as a practical manual based on the table of contents. Turned out to be a guide for students on IT business applications. For everyone and for no one

Some great fundamental concepts but lacks of actual insights 2 out of 5 stars.
6 of 12 people found this review helpful.

Kroenke wrote a book dating back to 1994. As a lecturer I was advised to use this book, among others I'd choosen myself. After an extensive reading of this book I had to admit that some chapters are very good, because they give students a fundamental insight in management information systems, but for the title being "Management Information Systems" the chapters about personal information systems (5-7) aren't worth reading them. Also the book lacks actuality, e.g. a 486-PC with 8 MB is mentioned to be necessary for running windows. An update or revision, with more emphasis on Management Information Systems would be valuable.

Editorial Review:

Using MIS is the book that teaches students how people use information systems to solve business problems.

Building on students' experience and knowledge base from personal MIS to workgroup MIS to enterprise MIS, this text stresses the important role of Information Systems in satisfying business objectives. Realistic examples, mini-cases, case applications, and thought-provoking review material with projects promote active learning.

This text is beneficial to the business professional interested in a basic understanding of management information systems today.

I used this book in graduate school while taking the Database Management System course. The book has usefull information. It help me understand and practice normalization. Some unfamiliar concepts also were learnt from the book. I can recommend this book to anyone getting into the database world.

Not an easy read 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Our database teacher recommended this book. I bought this book and found it not an easy read. After going through the whole book still I could not understand how the database design process works. Then I went on google to look for some thing easy to understand. I found a book called "Relational database design for starters: Explained through a case study in Microsoft Access" by Akmal Masood. This book is very easy to understand and after finishing the book, I was able to understand how the database design works.

Editorial Review:

Modern Database Management is the leading text in the business database market. It's noted for its focus on the latest principles, concepts and technologies and what leading practitioners say is most important for database developers.

Management Info Systems Text Book 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I purchased the text in the "used" section. The text was sent late and received almost three weeks after the order was placed. The book condition in the description was "excellent", but when received the text had damage on both of the outer covers as well as highlighting in every chapter. Be leary of the descriptions in the used book section.
