About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Management Information Systems, taught in schools of business either at the undergraduate level in the Junior/Senior year, or at the MBA-level. To better motivate students, this new text focuses on how managers apply MIS to solve business problems and improve their organizations. Instead of emphasizing technology and definitions, Post/Anderson focuses on learning to use information technology to improve management. One overriding question throughout the text is: How can managers improve their organizations' performance in the business environment? One primary theme of Post/Anderson is integrating information. The text illustrates how an information system can capture, transmit, and utilize information from diverse locations, different departments, and in various formats to give managers access to the information that leads to better decision making for solving problems and improving the organization.
