Information Technology for Management: Transforming Organizations in the Digital Economy (International Student Edition)

This is the international edition. I used international editions all through college and never had any problems. The major difference is usually a different kind of paper is used, the isbn is different, and they use a different cover.

TURN TODAY'S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES INT OYOUR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE

Featuring the latest on ecommerce, supply chain management, data and knowledge management, and more, Turban, McLean, and Wetherbe's INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR MANAGEMENT, Second Edition Updates, shows readers how to harness the power of today's information technologies for strategic advantage.

With a strong focus on managerial issues, the authors explain why IT plays an essential role in any organization's success and how different functional areas can use IT to facilitate problem solving ,  increase productivity and quality, improve customer service, and enable business process reengineering. Throughout the book, fascinating "war stories" and real-world examples make concepts come alive. And a Web-based Virtual Company project offers a unique opportunity to put theory into practice.

HERE'S WHAT'S NEW IN THE UPDATE EDITION:

• A completely rewritten and updated Chapter 6 on e-commerce.
• A fully revised and refocused Chapter 4, retitled "Supply Chain, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Business Process Reengineering." Original sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.7 have been reworked and combined into a new Appendix of Business Process Reengineering and placed on the Turban Web site for reference.

• Updated Technology guides at the end of the text that reflect the latest developments in hardware, software, data and databases, telecommunications, and the Internet.
