Description

Appropriate for any introductory, intermediate or advanced MIS course where cases are used. This casebook serves as an ideal supplement to most MIS/CIS textbooks where students complete Excel, Access, and web projects.

 

Designed to demonstrate how software can support managerial decision-making activities, this brief casebook features 26 cases covering a wide range of functional areas throughout the business, including finance/accounting, HR, production, and information systems. Many of the cases require students to prepare both written and oral presentations on their solutions.


Features

&>

 

What type of assignments do you give students (i.e. cases)?  Do you assign a variety of cases with varied levels of difficulty? Would you be interested in a casebook that quickly ranks the level of difficulty to make preparation easier for you?

Case Difficulty Levels

  • Each case is given a difficulty rating, ranging from one to five stars.  A one star difficulty rating indicates an introductory case, while a five star difficulty rating indicates a more rigorous case.

Do you to emphasize the skills students are developing as they complete each case?

Skills Check Feature

  • A skills check box appears at the beginning of each case.  The skills check feature identifies the skills a student will be required to use in order to complete the case.

How many cases do you cover each term? What applications do you emphasize?  Would you be interested in a casebook that is updated annually and offers a wide selection of cases?

Variety of Cases

  • The variety of cases, both in difficulty level and quantity, enable the professor to "mix and match" the cases based on the course and student needs.

 

Do you emphasize decision making in your course?

Managerial Decision-Making

  • The cases encourage students to determine how software can be used to help solve common decision problems and facilitate decision-making activities.

How do you draw students from the different functional areas into the projects?

Cases from a wide range of business functions

  • Cases reflect realistic decisions made by human resources, production, accounting, financial, and information systems managers which help students understand that these technology issues relate to careers they are pursuing.

 

Support Material

  • The support material includes a Solution File, Instructor's Manual, Data Files, and Web site.
