While studying in an accredited introductory information systems course, Essentials of Management Information Systems by Laudon and Laudon challenged my understanding about information systems with a focus on business structured by economic theory. The relevant book by Laudon and Laudon instructing from a bottom-up approach similar to the economics book by Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, Modern Principles of Economics, is probably a product related to Kenneth C. Laudon having a background in economics; this is useful for understanding specific cases and then applying the lessons learned to business proposals with information systems collectively constraining the solutions for normal science. When working with this text, my suggestion to the reader would involve seeking an integration of research about ethics related to information systems; the relevant book by Laudon and Laudon has a chapter on ethics for business, but detailed business ethics are increasingly relevant in all aspects of business.
