Product Description

The #1 market leader is appropriate for MBA and undergraduate level courses in accounting information systems. The 8/e is extensively rewritten (almost 100 pages shorter) and includes a new two-color design. There is increased coverage of business strategy so that students can immediately begin to think about how information technology may be used to help organizations achieve their goals and improved coverage of databases and data modeling, including the use of Microsoft ACCESS to illustrate the concepts. There is enhanced coverage of e-commerce, including the topics of FEDI and control issues and a continued focus on transaction cycles from a business process perspective, including many new techniques that perpetrators are using to defraud companies, and an improved presentation of the systems development/acquisition process. Includes a CW web site with resources to support faculty and students.


From the Back Cover

Increased coverage of business strategy introduces basic strategies and strategic positions in Chapter 1. Enhanced coverage of e-commerce explores FEDI and control issues as well as IT support of e-commerce.For accountants interested in updating their skills.

Is this the world's most boring book ? Technically competent but painfully dry. A gift too insomniacs. Good luck on getting past page 1 !

2.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but boring, September 11, 1999
By jtashley@hotmail.com (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This is a very comprehensive textbook of the subject. It deals with just about every aspect of the AIS realm. It is, however, a very dull book. There isn't much illustrating, no color, and absolutely no life beyond the black and white wasteland of its pages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Agreed. Boring as dirt., May 9, 2003
By Ryan Hennessy (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Everything you need is in here, but the book truly is boring as dirt. If you need it for a class, fine. But do not buy it if you just want something to read.
