Business-Driven with Real-World Business Cases and Examples
The text helps students see the direct connection between information systems and business performance. It describes the main business objectives driving the use of information systems and technologies in corporations all over the world: operational excellence, new products and services, customer and supplier intimacy, improved decision making, competitive advantage, and survival. In-text examples and case studies show students how specific companies use information systems to achieve these objectives. We use current (2020) examples from business and public organizations throughout the text to illustrate the important concepts in each chapter. Most of the case studies describe companies or organizations that are familiar to students, such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, PayPal, the Bel Group, and Deliveroo.
