Computers and Information Systems

This introduction to computers takes a business oriented approach designed to bridge the gap between texts which are either too technical or too sociological in nature. The modular design of the text allows the lecturer flexibility as each section is independent of others and students can proceed to any section knowing they are equipped with enough information to comprehend the material. Each chapter includes an overview, chapter outline, a list of objectives, boxed special interest features, a chapter summary, list of key terms, discussion questions and full colour illustrations throughout. A complete glossary and index end the book. This text provides the student with a sound business understanding to compete successfully in today's complex, computerized work environment. This book should be of interest to introductory courses in computing and information processing for students of business studies; no prerequisites in mathematics, business or computer science are required.
