Nära nyskick. Modern information technologies are transforming the delivery of goods and services, but managers face organisational and strategic issues as they decide how to respond to these opportunities.

This book draws on empirical research to present a distinct strategic and organisational perspective on the management of computer-based information systems.

Adopting a management approach, this third edition of Managing Information Systems: Strategy and Organisation maintains a four-part framework of foundations, strategy, organisation and implementation.

Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition includes:

A new chapter on the social contexts of information systems, including discussions of data privacy, intellectual property and ethics
Substantially revised material on implementation in Part Four, combining both conceptual and practical issues, and covering the problems of assessing costs and benefits
New and revised recurring chapter cases illustrating current practices in companies such as Zara, Google, Tesco, RBS and Nokia
The book also includes learning features designed to promote critical reflection and further research such as:

Case questions to explore the link between current practice and theoretical perspectives
MIS in practice and Activity boxes to encourage the reader to reflect on the themes explored in the chapter
End-of-chapter questions to enable readers to test their understanding of topics
Weblinks and references to offer sources of further information and ideas.
