About this title

From the Publisher

Revised/consolidated 4 functional business area chapters from 3/E (on accounting/finance information systems (IS), marketing IS, manufacturing/production IS, and human resource IS) into 2 new chapters 10 - Operational IS and 11 - Tactical and Strategic IS. Functional area coverage still emphasized, just reorganized to help professors cover the topics more quickly and easily;
Brand new chapter 9 on the Internet and Distributed Systems; updated technology coverage in chapters 5-8; new chapter 4 on Business Process Reengineering and Information Technology;
All new 5 part integrated case on Software Reengineering Company written by Doug Bock.
Real-life boxed examples - found in most chapters and renamed for this edition as "Manager's Memos," these present real-life scenarios on information systems.
User-manager perspective and emphasis - Schultheis/Sumner focus on the question "Does the manager need to know it?" when choosing content for the text. The authors select information systems topics that are important to the manager rather than the systems analyst or the MIS major.
Integration of theory and practice - as with previous editions, this edition also contains information management theories important to the manager, maintaining the text's higher-level, sophisticated reputation
