End-user Information Systems Perspectives for Managers and Information Systems Professionals

From the PublisherFeaturing an end-user approach to systems analysis, this text clearly addresses the links between information systems technology, people, and organizational goals. It provides a comprehensive, thoroughly up-to-date treatment of IS design, analysis, and implementation, with a practical focus on shaping information systems to enhance employee performance and carry out "real-world" business strategies. The text is technically thorough, yet clear enough to be followed by nonspecialists. One of its main strengths is the authors' use of an original project methodology. This unique methodology makes the text easier to follow, while at the same time equipping students with a useful model for managing projects in the workplace. Along with its emphasis on employee performance and business effectiveness, this text offers superior coverage in several key areas. This text establishes a much-needed methodological link between systems analysis and work process redesign. It also distinguishes effectively between designing transaction processing systems and designing for end-user computing.From the Back CoverThis book provides a comprehenisve, thoroughly up-to-date treatment of IS design, analysis, and implementation, with a practical focus on shaping information systems to enhance employee performance and carry out "real-world" business strategies.
