About this title

From the Publisher

This practical text gives business managers--the users of information technology systems--all the tools necessary to best exploit information technology. Written for MBA and advanced undergraduate students, the book uses real cases and coverage of the key technology to show the prospective business manager (1) how to evaluate the IS (information system) organization, and (2) how to be a partner in managing data, information, and systems. Managing Information Technology, Second Edition, also takes students beyond the responsibilities of individual managers; it outlines issues of concern to organizations--to broaden students' perspective on using information technology strategically.
