Businesses today operate within intensely competitive and dynamic environments, which have drastically adjusted managerial decision-making. Information needs to be not only constantly collected and updated, but processed and analyzed at high volumes as well. Information systems have therefore become critical in the collection, restoration and presentation of data for managers. Management Information Systems builds a strong foundation in the concepts of planning and development of information systems by focussing on emerging technologies like EDI, Telephony, WiMax, EVDO, RFID and Groupware. With a detailed analysis of key MIS applications, this book will facilitate the students' understanding of the underlying concepts and equip them with the skills necessary for managerial decision making.
