Introduction to Information Systems, 13/e
George M. Marakas, University of Kansas
Why study information systems? Why do businesses need information technology? What do you need to know about the use and management of information technologies in business? The introductory chapters of Module I are designed to answer these fundamental questions about the role of information systems in business.
After completing these chapters, you can move on to study chapters on information technologies (Module II), business applications (Module III), development processes (Module IV), and the management challenges of information systems (Module V). An optional review of hardware and software technologies (Module VI) is also provided.
The first five chapters of the book are provided for your viewing here as PDF files.
