Database systems for management

— Courtney, James f. - Nama Orang; Paradice, David B - Nama Orang;

These text contain excellent technical presentations; however, they're not geared to the goal of the management informtion systems (MIS) student. Specifically, we note the following:
- These books go into great detail on technical topics. Although MIS students need to be familiar with technical concepts, they do not need the depth of training in some areas that technical students need.
- The ultimate goal of MIS curricula is to teach effective decision-making skills, yet many books do not go any practical detail on managerial issues. They focus on the hows database design but rarely address the whys. MIS students need a database management book that emphasizes the role of database function as part of the overall information management system of the organization.
- These book motivate examples from the concepts, not from realistic, business needs. Business students nedd business examples, which contain data that stimulates the type of data found in most corporation.
