About this title

Synopsis:

This work examines a five-level framework that is used to describe the stages of information systems development. It has been revised to reflect the movement towards enterprise-wide business, and looks at the major topics covered in a first course.

From the Publisher:

2 brand new chapters 6 - The Internet and Electronic Commerce and 7 - Intranets, Extranets, and Electronic Collaboration;
All new real world cases (2 per chapter) and real world problems (4 per chapter) from 1997 sources like Computerworld, Fortune, and other business/IT publications. O'Brien vs. competition always has the most up-to-date and current case material;
All new 5-part continuing real world case found at the end of each module called Business on the Internet, featuring companies like Amazon.com books, Yahoo, Excite, and others.
Simple five-level framework - as with all O'Brien texts, the 2nd Alt. Ed. is organized around the five-level framework (foundation concepts, technology, applications, development, management) that emphasizes the IS knowledge a managerial end user needs to know.
Distributes and integrates IS theory throughout, instead of concentrating it in early chapters.
