More about the book
Most information systems textbooks overwhelm business students with overly technical details that may not be relevant to their careers. This textbook adopts a fresh approach to the information systems course for business majors. It emphasizes key "Take-Aways" for each topic, helping students focus on essential material for their future careers. Sections like "Where You Fit In" and "Why This Chapter Matters" illustrate the real-world implications of the topics discussed. The text also includes review questions, discussion prompts, and summaries. The second edition has been updated to reflect new technology and features a new running case study. Key aspects include a focus on business students rather than technical specialists, an emphasis on enabling technologies and relevant application areas, and insights based on the author's extensive real-world experience. This resource is designed to meet the needs of students and reflects the author's desire for a more practical guide when he began teaching. Dr. Mallach, with degrees from Princeton, MIT, and Boston University, has two decades of experience in the computer industry and has taught information systems for 18 years at various institutions. He now consults in the industry and engages in community service, alongside his personal interests in hiking and travel.
