The 8th edition of Business Driven Information Systems promotes the belief that technology should support the needs and goals of a business. This perspective is reinforced throughout the pedagogy that presents business initiatives first and how technology supports those initiatives second. Business Driven Information Systems is designed to give students the ability to understand how information technology can be a point of strength for an organization.Recognizing the dynamic nature of information technology, the new 8th edition provides coverage of both current and emerging technologies, in an easy-to-understand format. The clear and concise explanations are brought to life through the numerous case studies, exercises, projects, and questions that support key concepts. The business-driven approach brings the difficult and often intangible MIS concepts to the student's level and applies them using a hands-on approach to reinforce the concepts.McGraw-Hill Connect, an award-winning digital teaching and learning solution, is available for purchase alongside this product.
