Information Systems: A Management Approach

by Steven R. Gordon, Judith R. Gordon

This book is intended for use in the introductory information systems course for business majors or graduate programs of business. Most schools provide a separate course for software applications that precedes this course, or they will adopt a second applications book for lab use. Its goal is to prepare future managers to use information systems to meet their information needs. It includes extensive examples of real-world situations in which managers successfully and unsuccessfully use information systems and technologies. The book presents information systems concepts primarily from a manager's perspective, considering the perspectives of knowledge workers and managers in all business disciplines, including: marketing, operations, human resources management, and finance, in organizations of all sizes.
