About this title

From the Back Cover:

Technical developments continue to enable great change in organisations. Securing the benefits, however, requires more than technology; it requires a coherent approach to organisational and strategic issues.

This book draws on both academic research and current practice to present a distinctively organisational perspective on the management of computer-based information systems.

 

This second edition of Managing Information Systems maintains a four-part framework and a range of valuable pedagogical features to encourage active learning. In brief, it provides:

• An organisational perspective to elicit discussion from a strategic and managerial position
• Analysis of recent developments in areas such as the integration of CRM, ERP and related systems
• A recurring Chapter Case to explore connections between theories or models and current practice
• Activity and MIS in Practice features to promote critical reflection and encourage further research

 

The book is intended for those who are studying information systems as part of a management degree on undergraduate, MBA or similar postgraduate courses.
