Title overview

Introduction to Information Systems will teach you what information systems are all about and why they are so fundamental to business and society. While rigorously discussing business strategies, technology trends, innovations and more, the text enriches those topics by probing the roles people play in building, shaping, implementing, and sometimes obstructing information systems.

The 5th Edition has been thoroughly updated to cover emerging technologies and industry trends. New coverage includes topics such as web decentralization, satellite internet systems; 6G research; browser fingerprinting; metaverse; crowdsourcing; ransomware threats; and the impact of the pandemic on business strategies, contactless ordering, mobile payments and remote learning. The new Thinking Globally feature highlights IS in global commerce and cooperation, while new case studies and Quick Check questions reinforce learning throughout.
