Synopsis:

Written for business students, with a business end user focus, this text focuses on the foundations needed to understand the concepts and technology necessary to become intelligent users of information systems. It introduces students to information systems as well as the real business world.

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.
