From the Publisher
Previously called Computers and Information Systems in editions 1-5, this edition is far more practical and less technical than the more traditional 4th and 5th editions. This revision recaptures and dramatizes the user perspective.
A new organization: reduced hardware coverage; expanded coverage of software, communications, WWW and multimedia.
Two full chapters on Communications: 7 & 8.
Five Episodes (case studies) positioned throughout the text detail relevant issues for starting a Web-based business. Each Episode cites Amazon.com as a real world example, and then poses questions for consideration and discussion.
Career Boxes explain computer use in a range of employment settings.
Chapter Summaries follow popular "What It Is, What It Does, Why It's Important" format.
Two versions: Comprehensive (chapters 1-14), Core (chapters 1-8)
Clear, friendly writing style.
Hardware covered before software.
Thorough coverage of IS topics in chapters 9, 10, & 11.
