- A CD-ROM in the back of the book, providing added coverage of all relevant
topics while reducing significantly the size text itself. Reduction in length of text and inclusion of CD provide instructor with maximum flexibility.
- Incorporates a single business firm, Infoage, to illustrate concepts and
techniques throughout the text.
- More emphasis on electronic commerce and the Internet, bringing the student
up-to-date with recent developments
- Increased coverage of relational database structures, with relevant
illustrations
- Systems development condensed to a single chapter
- New problems, based on actual field visits by the co-authors, so that the
problems reflect situations faced by real business firms. Includes problems on
computer viruses, frauds, internal controls, ethics, DSS, ES, neural computing,
and databases.
- Discussion questions that require students to visit various web sites
relevant to the topical coverage in the chapters. These web sites extend the
coverage of material within the chapters. For example, students can download full or demo versions of DSS packages, ES packages, data mining tools, anti-virus programs; in addition, they can access fully functioning ESs and go through a consultation of the expert system online.
- Added coverage of the limitation of current AIS legacy systems and how
firms can use information technology to overcome these limitations viz, SAP
R/3's ERP system, RDBMS, DSS, EIS, client/server, Web-based applications,
e-commerce, etc.
