It's my opinion that this is organized and structured in a below-average manner. I cannot accept that IT/IS changes too fast to have better organized content. "Facts" are stated but not cited frequently. Conclusions in the text in support of information systems are a leap without logical connections. Parallel concepts are layed out in the text in a disjoint manner (i.e. one has pros and cons, but the other only indicates pros). Ideas that are related often are crammed into a rambling paragraph. I see many run-on and fragmented sentences. The text reads primarily from the perspective of academia and from a self-supporting view.
I'm sure it's tough writing a book. And my sentences aren't going to be better. But, if I'm paying a good sum of money for a text (and an education), I have higher expectations. Sadly, if you are buying this book, you probably don't have a choice of an alternative. Hopefully your professor reads this review.

Good book...needed it for the class..Good for a high level take on information technology management. MBA reading that can prepare non technical people for ideas that IT people deal with.
