Introduction to Information Systems: An Internetworked, Enterprise Perspective

by James A. O'Brien

This text is designed in a traditional format with coverage of topics that support information systems literacy. This edition offers less theory and more information on the basic building blocks needed to understand the concepts and technology necessary for readers to become intelligent users of information systems. The modular structure of this work maximizes flexibility with a framework organized into five areas: foundation concepts, technology, applications, development and management. Updated to include more examples of small business cases to emphasize fleet footed, growth-oriented companies employing fewer than 200 employees, the work also includes hands-on database and spreadsheet and Internet application exercises.

Reviews

[Haytham Badawey]

IS is a very important topic nowadays, this book summarizes a huge deal of information and facts about IT, most of its contents are well known to everyone, but many topics are brand new to me. So I can say I learned new lessons from this book and it can be used as a reference. Also, the case studies are not bad.

very good

[Moataz]

It's a very nice book about business especially for beginners, but it's trivial for computer science students in the technical sides. I think that it's a good choice for anyone who doesn't study computer science and wants to start his own software or hardware startup.
