Information technology for management: driving digital transformation to increase local and global performance, growth and sustainability
Information Technology for Management discusses the importance of aligning business-IT strategies and explains how companies rely on data, digital technology, and mobile devices to support them in the on-demand and sharing economies and help them address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our goal is to provide students from any business discipline with a strong foundation for understanding digital technology concepts and terminology and the critical role that it plays in facilitating business sustainability, profitability, and growth locally and globally. The text also seeks to equip students with the information they need to become “informed users of IT.” Enabling technologies and related concepts, discussed in this text include the following:
Sustainability. Cloud services, artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, edge computing, and other disruptive technologies are fundamental to sustaining business profitability and growth in today’s on-demand and sharing economies. These technologies play a critical role in developing and managing projects and sourcing agreements, addressing personal privacy, encouraging social responsibility and attracting, connecting with and engaging employees, customers, and partners across omnichannel technologies to promote sustainable business performance and growth.
Performance and Profitability. Combining the latest capabilities in descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive data analytics, reporting, collaboration, search, and digital communication helps enterprises be more agile and cuts costs to optimize business performance and profitability.
Growth. Strategic technologies enable business to create new core competencies, expand their markets, and move into new markets to experience exponential growth in the on-demand and sharing economies locally and globally.
In this twelfth edition, students learn, explore, and understand technology concepts and terminology and the importance of IT’s role in supporting the three essential components of business performance improvement: technology, business processes, and people. This edition has a greater focus on the global impacts of IT and includes discussions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ways technology is enabling organizations to connect with employees, customers, and partners and to use disruptive technologies in new and innovative ways to get the job done!
What's New in the Twelfth Edition?
In the twelfth edition of Information Technology for Management, we present and discuss concepts in a comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand format by actively engaging students through a wider selection of case studies, interactive figures, chapter summaries, 34 whiteboard animations, tech notes, self-check quizzes, online and interactive exercises, critical thinking questions, and crossword puzzles. We have enhanced the twelfth edition in the following ways:
Diverse Audience. Information Technology for Management is directed toward undergraduate, introductory MBA courses, and Executive Education courses in Management Information Systems and General Business programs. Concepts are explained in a straightforward way, and interactive elements, tools, and techniques provide tangible resources that appeal to all levels of students.
Strong Pedagogical Approach. To encourage improved learning outcomes, we continue to employ a blended learning approach, in which different types of delivery and learning methods, enabled and supported by technology, are blended with traditional learning methods. For example, case study and theoretical content are presented visually, textually, and/or interactively to enable different groups of students to use different learning strategies in different combinations to fit their individual learning style and enhance their learning. Throughout the book, general content has been reorganized and updated to reflect the current state of new and previously included topics and 100 new informative static or interactive figures and 29 new tables have been added to effectively visually demonstrate new and expanded concepts. In addition, all cases and IT at Work vignettes have been updated or replaced, and learning objectives have been updated to be more succinct and consistent with new content. Finally, a chapter summary linked directly to each learning objective has been added at the end of each chapter.
Leading-Edge Content. Prior to and during the writing process, we consulted with a number of vendors, IT professionals, and managers who are hands-on users of leading technologies, to learn about their IT/business successes, challenges, experiences, and recommendations. To integrate the feedback of these business and IT professionals, new or updated chapter opening and closing cases have been added to many of the chapters along with the addition of relevant, leading-edge content in the body of the chapters.
New Technologies and Expanded Topics. New to this edition are the topics of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, edge computing, cognitive knowledge management and blockchain technology. Also included are updates to the IT framework, expanded coverage of data science and advanced data analytics and the tools and techniques that support them, the newest systems developments methodologies, and expanded coverage of the Project, Program, and Portfolio Management framework. Table P-1 provides a detailed list of new and expanded topics.
