Succeeding With Technology is poorly designed, poorly written, and often inaccurate. I consider myself unfortunate to have bought this text. The authors seem unsure of their audience, assuming a great familiarity with technology in some areas and complete ignorance in others. They have little faith in the ability of their readers to understand technology, and no wonder since they often seem to have little grasp of it themselves. The pages are over-crowed with useless pictures, charts and show more lists, which too often seem like product placement.

Professors, be nice to your students. Find a better text. show less

The authors provide a number of pedagogical features in this textbook, such as, marginal notes, computer printouts, application boxes, history boxes, glossaries, key equations, discussion questions, problems, case studies, biographies, and computer programs for the IBM PC.

The computer programs, written in Microsoft BASIC for MS-DOS, cover forecasting techniques, expected monetary value, break-even analysis, analytical hierarchy process, inventory control models, linear programming, show more transportation method, assignment method, queuing models, simulation, network analysis, Markov analysis, and game theory. show less
