9780273600428: Strategic Management and Information Systems: An Integrated Approach

Synopsis

Every degree programme in business information systems and technology (and the great majority of the fast-expanding conversion MSc programmes in IT for business) includes a course on the strategic issues surrounding information systems. This new edition of an established text meets the need for an accessible and practical text for students studying this subject for the first time.
It supports the increasingly wide skills profile expected of business and information systems graduates and postgraduates, by adopting a toolbox approach to techniques and their application, and overall it creates a base from which effective consideration can be given to more complex concepts.
The second edition has been completely updated in line with new developments in the field and is now presented in a more attractive user-friendly style.

Synopsis

Robson's book aims to provide information systems students with an understanding of strategic management concepts and to direct business studies students to apply their management understanding to information systems. This text explains what management is, and the tools and techniques employed for business analysis. The author covers both the strategic management of information systems and how to improve strategic management using information systems. This includes areas such as how to stucture and manage the IS resource, the risks to which coporate systems are exposed and the legislative framework. Each section is supported by mini-case material, longer case exercises and other material designed to stimulate discussion. It is suitable for undergraduates following programmes in information systems and business studies, as well as those on MBA and MSc programmes.
