This edition has a "strategy-action" theme, which focuses students on information systems goals, emphasizes the role of people in information systems, and balances technical with managerial issues. The text is reinforced by boxed features and end-of-chapter case studies. In addition, the modular organization allows flexibility in customizing material in the text to fit course objectives. In this edition, topics from the previous edition have been streamlined to allow discussion of the latest technologies such as: pen-based computers, disk array systems, CASE tools, outsourcing, downsizing and group decision support systems, as well as object-oriented interfaces, knowledge-based systems and neural networks.
