Information Technology for Management: Improving Quality and Productivity by Efraim Turban (University of Hawaii)
Written by three prominent professors, this text stresses how information technology provides solutions to organizational problems and challenges and emphasizes the innovative uses of informational technology. By taking a practical, managerial-oriented approach, the book demonstrates that information technology can be provided not only by information systems departments, but by end-users as well. There are four overarching themes that are stressed throughout the book that reflect the authors' vision of where information systems are going: real world orientation, productivity and quality, technology and applications, as well as comprehensiveness.
