Management Information Systems

Author: Gerald V Post

Post and Anderson’s Management Information Systems, 3/e focuses on how managers can apply knowledge of IT tools to solve management problems and find new opportunities to improve their organizations. This revised edition addresses these challenges and continues to illustrate how information technology supports managers in their operational and decision-making tasks performed each day. Post/Anderson is fundamentally different from other MIS texts in the following ways:

1) Strength of Chapter 6-Database Management, emphasizes that databases are crucial to any business application; 2) Chapter 7 shows the importance of data integration and how ERP software meets that need; 3) Industry-specific cases; 4) Rolling Thunder Bicycle Company database; 5) Application appendices.
