 Poorly organized, boring, decent content March 21, 2008

I'm an IT professor and have used this book to teach a previous class a year or so ago. While the contents provide a sufficient overview of the IT function and case studies for grad-level students, it is unfortunately very dry stuff for most students. It is also poorly organized.
Having used other textbooks for undergrads, this book fails in comparison. What my (and presumably all) business students are looking for are more immediately actionable knowledge, practical skills, and a much more compelling presentation. (The Technology in Action series is outstanding in all these respects!)
Hopefully, the Laudons will 'sexify' their new textbooks with more flash and interesting content. If Apple, Nokia, Sony, Google, and other firms can make tech ultra-cool, I don't see why we can't have IT textbooks to match them.
 Decent book January 15, 2007

Decent book but I felt the information and topics were not that well organized. Some of the figures/charts/pictures were rather remedial and childish. I bought the book becuase it was required for an MIS class for my MBA program. I started the class not knowing much about IT/IS and finished the class learning very little more. I blame the class more for that then the book. Like I said, a decent book.
