Negative Positive
Title: Out of date and limited...
Review: There's the possibility that this book was right on the mark for what it was created. I however needed it for a class. It didn't help clarify the subject in the least. The material in the book was not very well explained and thus didn't stand on its own. The instructions for the exercises were windows excel 2003 specific, so I had to not only switch from my beloved mac to a pc, but then had to revert back to the 2003 version just so the step-by-step procedures would be relevant. Other than that, I'm sure it was awesome and insightful. All in all though the scope was so narrow I would not recommend this edition.I have also considered my views might be bias, but seemed to share in the idea amongst classmates that not much was gained from this book in regards to the decision support systems class. Perhaps that has more to do with who the class utilized the book rather than the potential of the book itself. For that reason, I changed my rating from 1 star to 2.
