Title: Introduction to Information Systems
Product review: Introduction to Information Systems 9/E is a traditional book because of the organization of the table of contents and the five-level framework that is used to describe the stages of Information Systems development. This text provides brief but complete coverage of the major topics covered in a first course and has been thoroughly revised to reflect the movement toward enterprise-wide business applications. All case studies and real-world problems have been updated to correspond with this movement as well. The 9E is the "Essentials" version of O'Brien's books. The text's focus is on teaching the general business manager how to use and manage the most current IT technologies like the Internet, Intranets, and Extranets for electronic commerce and enterprise collaboration, and how IT contributes to competitive advantage, reengineering business processes, and decision making.
