The Alternate Edition for Canada covers Management Information Systems concepts with a different approach and organization of topics compared to traditional introductory Information Systems books. For example, Electronic Commerce and its effect on organizations is a major theme in this text, threaded through each chapter. The authors assume that students know a little about hardware and software and focus more on the way organizations use information systems. There are many sidebars, boxes, and examples pulled from real-world organizations and many individual and group projects for students to work on, tying theory to practice.

What is the Alternate Edition for Canada? It is the presentation of management information systems concepts within a Canadian context. Through our market research and reviews, we discovered that instructors want their students using a resource that provides a clearly focused overview of Information Systems. However, their students would relate better to the material if Canadian examples, statistics, and stories were used to illuminate many of the concepts.
