About the Book

This text was written for a first course in MIS and emphasises the organisation aspects of information systems. It explains and demonstrates how information systems can be used by management to more effectively manage an organisation. The text presents all types of modern day information systems, including decision systems, transaction processing systems and expert systems. Features: * The text presents all types of modern day information systems, including decision support systems, transaction processing systems and expert systems. * In a major change from the traditional MIS text, the manager is treated as an informed end-user of the corporation's information system, rather than as an MIS computer programmer separated from the operational needs of management. * The role of microcomputers in MIS is more thoroughly addressed than in most other texts. * A continuing case, ProYacht, shows how companies use technology to make decisions. As new systems are introduced to the student, they are implemented at ProYacht. This compelling case will show students how systems must be modified to accommodate the changing needs of management. * Numerous boxed inserts - many of them real company examples - describe how contemporary business uses information. * Each chapter contains numerous review questions, several discussion cases, and actual company cases.
