Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The aim of this text is to prepare students for the constantly changing demands of information systems management. It does this by first relating MIS to management, the organization and technology, focusing on the importance of integrating these elements; secondly, by tracking emerging technologies and organizational trends; and thirdly, by using examples taken from real businesses both domestic and foreign. This seconds edition explores the rapid expansion of Internet related technologies and the impac they are having on how business is being done. Students may use the traditional text or the CD-ROM independently or use the CD in conjunction with the text as a multo-media learning tool. Laudon/Laudon Web site.
