This core textbook provides a comprehensive and focused introduction for business students to the application of IS in organisations, using a systems-theory approach, with extensive examples, case studies and online videos to bring the topic alive. Terminology is admirably clear and topics are interconnected so that students get a sense of the whole, not a series of isolated issues. This new edition of Business Information Systems hones the framework and approach developed in the first edition, retaining its best features and making improvements to aid student engagement and learning. Written by a highly experienced lecturer and researcher, this will be essential reading for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students taking modules in information management systems in business.
