Potter ISBN: 9780471170655 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc Publication Date: 2000 Binding: Hardcover It makes your business soar! Without Information Technology (IT), the snowboard on the cover simply would never make it to the slopes. As you read Introduction to Information Technology, youýll discover that IT integrates and enhances all functions of a businessýfrom the research and development that goes into designing a faster, more flexible board, to the delivery systems that make sure stores receive stock in time for winter, to the point-of-sale systems that track sales trends and customersý buying preferences. Written in language you can easily understand, the text gradually presents complex technical information on a need-to-know basis, so that you wonýt get overwhelmed by the details. Each chapter is filled with dozens of real-world examples that demonstrate ITýs relevance to different disciplines, industries, and companies. Throughout the text, youýll also find numerous opportunities to apply what youýve learned. Features Relevance: The authors explain why IT is important to all individuals and functions within an organization by relating topics to specific business majors (finance, marketing, MIS, production/operations, HR, etc.). Real-World Examples: Extensive examples show you the capabilities of IT, its cost and justifications, and innovative ways actual corporations are using IT in their operations. Global Perspective: The text explains how IT facilitates export and import, managing multinational companies, and electronic trading around the globe. Integrated Systems: Integrated systems (e.g. SAP R/3; extranets) are stressed and related to supply chain management and multinational corporations. Making Connections: The text emphasizes the importance of connections among individuals, groups, and organizations, and the support that IT provides in enabling these connections. The Web: In addition to teaching the fundamentals of the Internet, the text presents a comprehensive chapter on e-commerce. All chapters include Web-based, real-world applications, "integration with the Web" exploration, and Internet exercises. The Virtual Company: A Web-based case for a simulated company manufacturing snowboards enables you to create and operate a small business a small business on the Web. This book is based on the fundamental premise that the major role of information technology (IT) is to support employees, regardless of their functional area (e.g. sales, marketing, accounting, HR) or level in the organization. Intense global competition, a heightened focus on the bottom line, and an increasingly rapid pace of change are forcing organizations, and their employees, to continuously improve their performance. IT provides the tools that enable all employees to better perform their jobs, especially in solving problems and seizing opportunities.

View Larger Image Executive Information Systems: Emergence, Development, Impact R. Kelly Rainer; Hugh J. Watson ISBN: 9780471555544 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc Publication Date: 1992 Binding: Hardcover The successful development and operation of an EIS must address a myriad of potential organizational and technical challenges and creates responsibilities for management and developers. Management must define objectives for the system, allocate necessary resources, put the development staff in place, fight political resistance, and be visible users of the system. Developers must determine information requirements for the system, select appropriate hardware and software resources, gain access to necessary data, design screens, and oversee the evolution of the system. Executive Information Systems provides valuable information and materials on these and other key EIS issues. This important work was gathered from information that was previously scattered in academic journals, trade publications, conference proceedings, and university working paper series. This book contains important concepts, understanding, insights, and real-life experiences about how to successfully develop an EIS. Written for anyone who wants to learn about EIS, this book is divided into four parts: The Emergence of EIS, The Nature of Executive Work, Developing an EIS, and The Impact of EIS. Interspersed throughout the book are detailed descriptions of EIS in a variety of organizations. For quick, easy access, these descriptions are marked in the Table of Contents as "EIS in Action" and are intended to make EIS more real and less abstract. Executive Information Systems provides a wealth of practical, hard-won information and advice that has never been published together in one comprehensive volume. More About this Book
