Information Technology for Managers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just started using this book for an Information Systems class for my MBA. It was a required text so I did not choose it. It is lightweight and small and the chapters aren't too long, so it seems like a good book for managers to use to learn about Information Technology. The technology being discussed may change but the principles of how to manage technology are constant.

The High-Tech Personal Efficiency Program: Organizing Your Electronic Resources to Maximize Your Time and Efficiency Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you already have Gleeson's "The Personal Efficiency Program : How to Get Organized to Do More Work in Less Time," don't buy this. It has pretty much the same information. It's not "high-tech" at all. Most of the book is like a Computer 101 class. I'm quite disappointed, since I was looking for ways to organize my electronic resources, NOT "how do I create a folder in Win95."

Wireless Broadband Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you do not have any technical experience in wireless and you are looking to get a grasp on the basic technology, applications, and market, I would recommend this book. Sit down read it through quickly then move on. If you have moderate wireless experience and are trying to get caught up on 2.5G and 3G technology and standards, this is NOT the book.
Beyond this point, I found that Bates repeated the same information time and time again without any new twist. I can not say that I will forget what he had to say, but he did not enrich the information. He also prognosticates based upon inspiration without any facts. After the latest "hockey stick market" bust, I would be careful basing any demand and penetration projections on historical information.
Finally, do not use the table of contents as an indicator of the depth of this book (like I did).

Wireless Computing: A Manager's Guide to Wireless Networking (Communications) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)More than just a "manager's guide," this book gives a good overview of a wide variety of wireless technologies. If you're new to wireless, this would be a good introductory book. Also included are some descriptions of commercial wireless products.
