This book is the best overall work on meta-analysis and research synthesis that has appeared in the past decade.All of its chapters are clearly written, and the data sets that are provided to illustrate the various techniques are extremely helpful. A lot of work went into the development of this book, and it shows.

4 out of 5 stars Useful Reference for Consultants & IT Professionals.......2001-02-25

This book is a compendium of tools and techniques that are routinely used in one consulting engagement after another. The topics are standard fare and are covered in a plain, straightforward manner.

I use this book as an encyclopedia of techniques when I am searching for a method or procedure that fits a particular situation or requirement. I also use it as a refresher when I set aside time for professional reading.

What I like about the book is the wide range of techniques covered - everything from control charts to structured analysis is addressed, with an apparent bias towards project management techniques (crash mode analysis, PERT, critical path method, etc.) It also covers object-oriented techniques, database design and rapid application design.

I also like the fact that techniques are grouped into chapters under sections that cover Principles, Information Gathering,/Problem Definition, Project Management, Systems Analysis (some great material in this section), Identifying Alternatives, Design, Testing/Implementation, and Operations & Maintenance. This makes finding a particular technique easy to locate and to also place into the context of whatever project you happen to be working on.

Why four stars? The writing is dry, and in many sections too verbose. Also, there is a discernible difference in writing style between authors Davis and Yen, which could have been rectified by a good editor. Other than this minor complaint I recommend this book to consultants because it does provide a single source of reference material on a wide range of topics and techniques.

    * The only handbook available specifically for Information Systems, and written for both research supervisors and their students
    * Content agreed and approved by an international panel of experts, ensuring worldwide relevance

    Customer Reviews:

    4 out of 5 stars directed towards supervisors.......2005-09-13

    Despite the title, the book is more directed towards supervisors rather than their students. The author was motivated by the realisation that simply finishing a PhD was insufficient in itself to qualify that person as a good supervisor. There are issues in being the latter that simply don't arise when you were a graduate student. Avison offers this book to bridge the gap.

    Over half the book concerns matters than could arise in any research field, not just information systems. For example, any cultural differences between the supervisor and student. Or perhaps gender issues? This is fraught with difficulties and perils for both sides.

    Later in the book is a discussion of items specific to information systems. This section actually seems the less useful to me.

        5 out of 5 stars Necessary reference!.......2000-07-13

        I am a professor of finance and international business, and the Associate Dean, at Emory's Goizueta Business School. Business leaders often ask me how I am able to construct such original graphs and always have useful forecasts for global economies and business. I tell them there is almost too much information and data now available; the key is to filter it efficiently to get to the most useful and credible sources. Fortunately, I keep a book right next to my computer that is the "bible" for all of us who work daily with information and statistics on global business. This book is a weighty one and any business should own a copy as it is a key resource. Written by award-winning authors, it is the best reference to guide business analysts and executives to the most valuable sources of global business information. Importantly, it shows how to INTERPRET AND USE the desired data. I find the book's extensive exhibits and tables, as well as appendices such as useful glossaries and checklists, help me understand the vast array of information now available on global business. Finally, I like how the authors provide useful summaries of business practices in various regions, the relevant international business organizations and agencies, etc. In sum, this is an indispensable reference for those serious about global business and finance.
