The sixth edition has been thoroughly updated and streamlined to reflect
current IS practices.
The overall objectives and targeted audience for this edition remain the
same as for the prior sixth edition: to provide comprehensive coverage
of IS management practices and technology trends for advanced students
and managers. Earlier editions of this textbook have been used for
courses in MBA, MS in IS, and executive education programs, as well as
in advanced undergraduate courses. We believe that our approach of
providing both up-to-date chapter content and full-length case studies,
written by the same authors, results in a unique set of materials for
educators to customize for students seeking careers as business
managers, IS managers, or IS specialists.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
Following an introductory chapter that sets the stage for learning about
IS management roles and technology trends, the textbook chapters are
presented in four parts:
Part I—Information Technology provides background knowledge about
major information technology components: hardware and software,
networks, and data. Depending on the targeted audience, these chapters
may be assigned as background readings as a kind of “level-setting” for
students from different educational and work backgrounds and
experiences.
