MIS: Management information systems in business, government and society, 1st edition

Abstract

The central viewpoint of this book - managerial decision making - informs the discussions on information technology and information systems, their use and management and their role in organisations. Most of the examples in the book are drawn from case studies in an Indian context. With an emphasis on networking and telecommunications technology - both wired and wireless - this book lays the foundation for understanding the future of information systems and the manner in which they are shaping the world around us. This textbook on Management Information Systems has 16 chapters organised under three broad themes - MIS and Organisations, Fundamentals of IT, and Social Aspects of IS - including separate chapters on important and emerging topics on IT, such as open source software, social networks, ICT for development and e-governance.
