7th Edition
Cengage Learning
The objective of Management Information Systems is to provide a real-world understanding of information systems (IS) for business and computer science students.
Like its predecessor, this Seventh Edition provides students with a firm foundation in business-related information technology (IT) on which they can build successful careers regardless of the particular fields they choose.
Students, as prospective future business professionals, may find themselves:
- Formulating strategic plans in executive suites,
- Optimizing operations in businesses or on factory floors,
- Fine-tuning plans for their own entrepreneurial ventures,
- Designing IS to optimize their organization’s operations,
- Working as internal or external consultants,
- Transitioning and refining business activities to online environments including web-based, mobile and IoTs devices, and/or
- Creating valuable new information products.
Each of these activities can be provided to any industry providing products and services to customers.
Ultimately, the integration of technology into the strategy and operations of a business is an important factor in its success.
