Introduction to Information Systems

An introduction to information systems, revised to reflect the movement toward enterprise-wide business applications. All the real-world case studies have been updated to correspond with this movement as well. The text's focus is on teaching the general business manager how to use and manage current IT technologies like the Internet, intranets and extranets for electronic commerce and enterprise collaboration, and how IT contributes to competitive advantage, re-engineering business processes and decision-making. The coverage of security has also been extended in this edition to respond to increased threats of computer crime.
