Features: The core of this book is to discuss how to use IT to engage in and improve business operations, as well as how to conduct cost-benefit analysis of IT application technologies. In terms of technology, the book focuses on the application of databases and component technology, and discusses e-commerce and its implementation. The entire book uses a RollingThunderDatabase as an example to integrate all the content into a cohesive whole. Additionally, each chapter includes a case study to illustrate the application and practice of the teaching content of that chapter. The book is divided into four parts, totaling 14 chapters. The first part introduces IT technologies used to improve operations and management; the second part introduces the IT foundation for integrated business operations; the third part introduces the IT functions in decision analysis; the fourth part discusses the roles and changes brought about and revealed by IT in business operations, information resource management, and the entire society. The content of this book is advanced and well-supported by cases. It particularly emphasizes the application of databases in MIS systems and uses this as the main thread, consistently explaining around a medium-level MIS system. This provides students with a valuable case study for learning and practice.
