For upper-level undergraduate and graduate level MIS courses.

This MIS text gives students and active managers a thorough and practical guide to IT management practices and issues.

Teaching Cases

These unique cases highlight real IT management problems so that students can learn the real challenges companies face when implementing new technologies, the capabilities of new types of applications, managing systems projects of different sizes with different methods, leveraging new Internet opportunities, and addressing systems integration and leadership challenges.  Seven new cases include:

o·    VoIP technologies and implementation

o·    Open source project approaches

o·    Data governance issues

o·    Business intelligence 

o·    Developing a vendor-managed inventory capability

o·    Managing a multi-year IT outsourcing contract.

Four Part Organization

Following an introductory chapter that sets the stage for IT management roles and responsibilities, the text is divided into four main parts:

• Information Technology presents background knowledge about four major technology components: hardware, software, networks, and data. (Depending on the targeted audience, these chapters can be used for background reading only, as a kind of “level-setting” for students from different backgrounds and experiences.)

• Applying Information Technology introduces in detail the capabilities of three categories of software applications: enterprise systems, managerial support systems, and e-business systems
• Acquiring Information Systems prepares the reader for leading and participating in projects to implement and support the use of these software applications—including methodologies for custom developed and purchased software

• The Information Management System lays the groundwork for understanding the range of IS leadership roles and current best practices for managing IT assets
