About this title

Synopsis

Building on the successful philosophy of the first edition - that learning how MIS concepts are applied in business makes concepts more interesting and easier to understand - Effy Oz has revised and updated this text to provide even more current, real business examples, expanded coverage of electronic commerce and business data communications. Five new Part Cases, covering a range of different types of businesses and enhanced with Case Videos, give a context to the various problems that businesses encounter every day - and how information systems can provide solutions.

From the Publisher

This book shows future managers how the computer can help them to solve business problems. Focusing on the role of managers within an organization, the text emphasizes the development of computer-based information systems to support an organization's objectives and strategic plans. In this sixth edition, four new chapters--on international computer use, quality, ethics, and management of information technology --relate important recent business trends to management information systems (MIS). A new running case of a Sensormatic, a security products company, illustrates MIS concepts in a real-world situation. Additional examples include more than seventy-five international corporations to reflect the globalization of business and of information systems.
