This MBA-level text helps students learn as much as possible about technology so they can play an active role in the design, use, and management of information technology.

Managing information technology is the theme woven throughout every chapter so students will understand its strategic significance and the potential impact on an organization, and the related technical issues.

Students will learn how to integrate technology into corporate strategy and surpass the competition.

Emerging technologies, including electronic communications and linking, technological matrixing, technological leveling, virtual components, electronic workflows, production automation, and electronic customer/supplier relationships are covered.

Students will complete the logical design of a system using the Simon Marshall case study, which is integrated throughout the text. This exercise encourages students to confront the myriad decisions and trade-offs that constitute the design of a multi-user system and gain a real-world understanding of what otherwise might remain abstract.

One chapter problem involves a systems analysis and design problem that uses PCs, a server, a local area network, a mainframe data source, and a satellite distribution system.
