Career-focused examples demonstrate how students can leverage information systems knowledge to transform organizations, and even build new empires.

Throughout the text, students come to understand the close links between competitive business strategies and information systems and develop an awareness and a new appreciation for the fierce business competition they see around them as they look at online ads, privacy policies, social networks, and their own smartphones.
