Publisher’s Presentation
Internationally known for its rigor and comprehensiveness, this textbook offers a multi-disciplinary approach to Information Systems (IS). It explains how information systems can improve decision-making and increase profitability by allowing managers to benefit from the IS in terms of strategic and operational management.
The French-language edition is remarkable for its meticulous adaptation of French specifics and more generally European specifics due to having taken into account cultural, economic and regulatory aspects as well as modifying numerous theoretical concepts and offering context for the European market with its collection of case studies.
