The text offers a solid organization based on logical layout, thorough explanations, and a solid theoretical base.
- Logical Layout You will find the text well organized with the
topics flowing logically from one chapter to the next and
from one section to the next. We do not use terms in a
chapter without first defining them. A glossary is included.
Chapters begin with learning objective, and key terms and
concepts are included at the end. Chapter questions direct
you to examine key points made in the chapter. The key
terms, concepts, and questions are presented in the same
sequence in which they appear in the chapter. Twelve
projects comprise the last section of the book and are
designed to reinforce concepts from the text.
- Solid Theoretical Base the text builds on a strong base of
MIS literature in describing current theory and practice of
management information systems. References to current
academic and professional journals are found throughout
the text.
