Principles of Information Systems

---

As organizations continue to operate in an increasingly competitive and global marketplace,
workers in all business areas including accounting, customer service, finance, human resources,
information systems (IS), logistics, marketing, manufacturing, and research and
development must be well prepared to make the significant contributions required for success.
Regardless of your future role, even if you are an entrepreneur, you need to understand what
information systems can and cannot do and be able to use them to help you accomplish your
work. You will be expected to discover opportunities to use information systems and to
participate in the design of solutions to business problems employing information systems.
You will be challenged to identify and evaluate information systems options. To be successful,
you must be able to view information systems from the perspective of business and organizational
needs. For your solutions to be accepted, you must recognize and address their impact
on co-workers, customers, suppliers, and other key business partners. For these reasons, a
course in information systems is essential for students in today’s high-tech world.
Principles of Information Systems, Tenth Edition, continues the tradition and approach of
the previous editions. Our primary objective is to provide the best information systems text
and accompanying materials for the first information systems course required of all business
students. We want you to learn to use information systems to ensure your personal success
in your current or future job and to improve the success of your organization. Through
surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, and feedback that we have received from current and
past adopters, as well as others who teach in the field, we have been able to develop the
highest-quality set of teaching materials available to help you achieve these goals.
Principles of Information Systems, Tenth Edition, stands proudly at the beginning of the
IS curriculum and remains unchallenged in its position as the only IS principles text offering
the basic IS concepts that every business student must learn to be successful. In the past,
instructors of the introductory course faced a dilemma. On one hand, experience in business
organizations allows students to grasp the complexities underlying important IS concepts.
For this reason, many schools delayed presenting these concepts until students completed a
large portion of the core business requirements. On the other hand, delaying the presentation
of IS concepts until students have matured within the business curriculum often forces the
one or two required introductory IS courses to focus only on personal computing software
tools and, at best, merely to introduce computer concepts.
This text has been written specifically for the introductory course in the IS curriculum.
Principles of Information Systems, Tenth Edition, treats the appropriate computer and IS concepts
together with a strong managerial emphasis on meeting business and organizational
needs.
