Features: "Management Information Systems in the Information Age" (4th Edition) provides readers with the content needed for courses in Management Information Systems or Information Technology, while making it more flexible and adaptable. The book includes 9 main chapters and 10 extended learning modules, with the content of the extended learning modules catering to readers' needs for technical and business/management topics to varying degrees. In the information age, knowledge has become the driving force of the world's economic development. This book elaborates on the cutting-edge fields and the latest system development methods in today's information technology from the perspectives of management and decision-making, including the Internet and e-commerce, multimedia technology, data warehouses and data mining, expert systems and artificial intelligence, CASE development tools, and object-oriented technologies, among others. In addition to inheriting the features of the previous three editions, this edition has added 10 extended learning modules (4 of which are included on the accompanying CD-ROM) to address the weakness of relatively weak technical foundations in the previous three editions, enabling readers to further expand and master the knowledge at a higher level. The fluent text, vivid explanations, detailed cases, and thorough analysis will guide readers into a dynamic and ever-changing information world. This book can serve as a textbook for MBA students and students in related fields, as well as a reference for middle and senior-level managers to enhance their foundational skills and improve their knowledge.
