Product Description
WHATS IN IT FOR ME?
Information technology lives all around us-in how we communicate, how we do business, how we shop, and how we learn. Smart phones, iPods, PDAs, and wireless devices dominate our lives, and yet it's all too easy for students to take information technology for granted.
Rainer and Turban's Introduction to Information Systems, 2nd edition helps make Information Technology come alive in the classroom. This text takes students where IT lives-in today's businesses and in our daily lives while helping students understand how valuable information technology is to their future careers.
The new edition provides concise and accessible coverage of core IT topics while connecting these topics to Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, Human resources, and Operations, so students can discover how critical IT is to each functional area and every business.
Also available with this edition is WileyPLUS - a powerful online tool that provides instructors and students with an integrated suite of teaching and learning resources in one easy-to-use website. The WileyPLUS course for Introduction to Information Systems, 2nd edition includes animated tutorials in Microsoft Office 2007, with iPod content and podcasts of chapter summaries provided by author Kelly Rainer.

Not a fan of binder books....too easy to lose pages and falls apart. Material is not as current as expected, but with computer technology changing so rapidly it does an OK job
Too Many Figures and Tables May 17, 2009

Introduction to Information Systems: Supporting and Transforming Business
This book is the text for a management information systems undergraduate course I'm taking. It's a general overview course, so the general coverage of material in the book is sufficient. Redundant tables, charts, and figures get annoying.
Authors could have included the Technology Guides (in the appendices) with the chapter material.
Also available as an e-book, though it's probably cheaper to buy a used paperback.
Decent textbook, tho it's not a keeper.
Very Good Student Text January 11, 2009

The book was purchased in conjunction with taking a college business course. The book is excellent for this purpose and for those wishing to study the topic but it is not a casual read. It is strong on information and communications technology in business that support the enormous changes in this area over the past few decades. It is not so strong on database and other program usage, etc., and I found recommended supplemental readings (from articles older than the date of publication of the book) helpful in studying this area so it is perhaps better as part of an organized course than for self-study.
