This book shows future managers how the computer can help them to solve business problems. Focusing on the role of managers within an organization, the text emphasizes the development of computer-based information systems to support an organization's objectives and strategic plans. In this sixth edition, four new chapters--on international computer use, quality, ethics, and management of information technology --relate important recent business trends to management information systems (MIS). A new running case of a Sensormatic, a security products company, illustrates MIS concepts in a real-world situation. Additional examples include more than seventy-five international corporations to reflect the globalization of business and of information systems.
