PRESCRIBED TEXT FOR BSB50401 (DIPLOMA OF BUSINESS (MANAGEMENT)) AT ABA NORTH SYDNEY, SEMESTER 2 2008

Now in its fourth edition, Fundamentals of Information Systems has been heavily revised and reorganized, yet continues to offer a concise overview of information systems fundamentals in a short, nine-chapter format. Seasoned authors Ralph Stair and George Reynolds weave the fundamentals of managing information systems into an understandable and engaging text.

# Fully updated chapter-opening vignettes, special interest boxes, business examples, and cases are dispersed throughout the text.
# 'Information Systems at Work' features provide real-world examples and are partnered with discussion question and critical thinking questions to engage students and encourage class discussions.
# Continues to focus on the increased effects of globalization by using 'World Views Cases' written by international instructors of information systems.
# 'Social and Ethical Issues' questions incorporated in end-of-chapter exercises provide thought-provoking discussions relating to information systems.
# Includes a password-protected student online companion (www.course.com/mis/stair), which reinforces concepts and offers further opportunities for activities, suggested readings, videos, and interactive learning.
