This supplement text bridges the gap between the fundamentals of how businesses operate (processes) and the tools that business people use to accomplish their tasks (systems). The authors have developed this text for an introductory MIS or general business course to establish a fundamental understanding of business processes. Business students, regardless of their functional discipline, will be able to apply the real-world concepts discussed in this text immediately upon entering the workforce.  

As more and more businesses adopt enterprise systems globally, it becomes increasingly important for business schools to offer a process-based curriculum to better reflect the realities of modern business.  Given the integration of business operations and enterprise systems, Magal and Word have designed this text to reflect, in a practical and accessible format, how real-world business processes are managed and executed.

The Baltzan and Phillips approach in Business Driven Information Systems discusses various business initiatives first and how technology supports those initiatives second. The premise for this unique approach is that business initiatives drive technology choices in a corporation. Therefore, every discussion addresses the business needs first and addresses the technology that supports those needs second. This approach takes the difficult and often intangible MIS concepts, brings them down to the student’s level, and applies them using a hands-on approach to reinforce the concepts. BDIS provides the foundation that will enable students to achieve excellence in business, whether they major in operations management, manufacturing, sales, marketing, etc. BDIS is designed to give students the ability to understand how information technology can be a point of strength in an organization.

AN ORIGINAL AUDIO PROGRAM FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR!

In his instant self-help classic, the international bestseller How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Michael J. Gelb identified seven aspects of Da Vinci’s genius that contemporary readers can emulate and apply in their own lives. Now, in WORK LIKE DA VINCI, Gelb adapts these principles to the specific demands of the workplace, sharing the innovative solutions to contemporary corporate and career challenges that have kept him in constant demand as a top-tier speaker and consultant to Fortune 500 clients.

In Gelb’s expert perspective, Da Vinci’s genius can be distilled into seven principles for the business listener:

• Ask the right questions (Curiositá) • Put your answers to work (Dimostrazione) • Develop your business senses (Sensazione) • Turn uncertainty into opportunity (Sfumato) • Strike a profitable balance (Arte/Scienza) • Integrate for success (Corporalitá) • Make the break-through connection (Connessione)

These principles will help you tackle such timeless business challenges as: leadership; innovation; teamwork; strategic planning; decision-making; managing change and uncertainty; giving powerful presentations; giving and receiving feedback; and more.

In the fiercely competitive, high-risk world of big business, comparatively few survive the arduous climb to the top and fewer still remain there. Five such extraordinary individuals now share their insights and experiences with Gretchen Morgenson, Senior Editor at Forbes magazine, in Forbes Great Minds of Business. Andrew Grove the vibrant head of Intel -- the company whose microprocessors power 90% of the world's computers -- is widely regarded as the best corporate manager in America. Fred Smith a shining example of entrepreneurship at its best, the founder of Federal Express, Inc. has built an entire industry from scratch and has physically changed the way business is done. Peter Lynch during his 13 years at the helm of Fidelity's Magellan Fund, he outperformed the stock market averages at least fivefold, and masterfully turned Magellan into the nation's largest mutual fund. Pleasant Rowland with no experience in either the marketing or the toy business, she founded Pleasant Company, an immensely profitable doll, clothing, and publishing empire that is now worth $250 million. Paul Volcker perhaps the most famous chairman of the Federal Reserve, he laid the foundation for the biggest wealth-creating bull market the United States has ever known.

A fascinating look at five of today's top business personalities, Forbes Great Minds of Business is also an informative and inspirational guide to what it takes to succeed and thrive in today's business world.
