Piccoli: Information Systems for Managers With or Without Cases

Information Systems for Managers

Available in two versions: With Cases & Without Cases

Gabriele Piccoli, Louisiana State University, and University of Pavia
Federico Pigni, Grenoble School of Management

Overview

Information Systems for Managers focuses on what students need to know to be effective managers in the modern firm. Building from a discussion of fundamental concepts, Piccoli and Pigni use a practical and applied approach, not only to demonstrate the strategic importance of IS, but also to impart methods for creating and maintaining value. Far more than a summary of IS topics, the book empowers readers to realize the transformative business potential of IT.
