This edition of Rainer, Prince, and Cegielski’s Introduction to Information Systems will answer
this question for you. In every chapter, you will see how real global businesses use technology
and information systems to increase their profitability, gain market share, improve their customer
service, and manage their daily operations. In other words, you will learn how information
systems provide the foundation for modern business enterprises.
Our goal is to teach all business majors, especially undergraduates, how to use IT to master
their current or future jobs and to help ensure the success of their organization. Our focus is
not on merely learning the concepts of information technology but rather on applying those
concepts to perform business processes more efficiently and effectively. We concentrate on
placing information systems in the context of business, so that you will more readily grasp the
concepts presented in the text.
