NEW "INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN ACTION" CHAPTER OPENERS PROVIDE INTRIGUING EXAMPLES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS MAKING AN IMPACT IN BUSINESS TODAY. Each chapter begins with a fascinating opening case about a real-world business scenario related to the subject matter in the chapter. These cases pique the reader's interest, show the importance of what they are learning and motivate students to read further.
MEANINGFUL CRITICAL-THINKING EXERCISES PROMPT ACTIVE LEARNING. These brief cases raise technical, organizational, behavioral, legal and ethical issues that test the reader’s grasp of the material. Exercises cause the reader to analyze and evaluate, rather than simply remembering facts, promoting active learning. A critical-thinking exercise appears at the end of each major section, providing three to six exercises per chapter to assign for homework or to use in class discussion. All critical-thinking exercises are tagged to AACSB skill areas.
