"It is about business, about realizing the value of information systems, and about governing our systems and people in a big data environment. Though designed as a text for a one-semester course on information systems (IS), it can serve as a resource for newly minted managers in business and government large-scale information technology (IT) sites as well. ... The authors continually provide the reader with interesting and thoughtful corporate experiences relevant to the topic at hand." (Robert M. Lynch, Computing Reviews, June, 2015)
