Recenzii

The author offers a clearly-organized and case study supported approach for real-world information system topics. The textbook bridges theory and practice in an intuitive und understandable manner. It is a must-read for every student in the field.
Beynon-Davies's updated classic provides a timely perspective on all elements of the modern ICT backbone that students and practitioners will find refreshing and useful in understanding the strategic role of IT in a data-driven decision making environment.
Business Information Systems provides an up-to-date and concise overview of a wide range of aspects related to the role of information in modern organisations, the increasing importance of electronic commerce and social media marketing as well as how to exploit digital opportunities for innovation. Relevant illustrations help to make it easier for students to understand the complexities of digital business. Exercises and Review Tests bring the subject matter to life even further. A balanced and usable book.
This third edition of Business Information Systems builds on previous editions by incorporating such key contemporary topics as big data; the internet of things; blockchain; social media; design thinking and cyber security. Importantly, considerations of sustainability and ethics also feature, as do reflections on contemporary technological trends and their impacts on business, organisations and society. This is essential reading, not just for those studying business information systems per se but for aspiring managers of all descriptions given the criticality and pervasiveness of digital technology both now and in the future.
A very practical and up-to-date approach to business information systems. Grounded in principles of good teaching practice, this text is an excellent and accessible resource for both students and instructors. Terminology is contextually and gently introduced. The often-troublesome gap between theory and practice is effectively bridged through the extensive use of examples, stories and case studies, all highly relevant to the pervading digital environment.
In a digital society it can be difficult to find a textbook that covers computer science and business in one place. However, Business Information Systems by Paul Beynon-Davies does just that and is a great book that simplifies the complicated and makes learning easy. I highly recommend this book.
I have admired the work of Paul Beynon-Davies for years. His writing is of the highest standard and is truly engaging. That's why I welcome the third edition of his textbook on Business Information Systems. It offers a comprehensive, up-to-date and rich learning experience for students of information systems.
Paul Beynon-Davies provides an engaging and comprehensive explanation of information systems and why they are important to business. It is grounded in a clear understanding of how technology is continuing to evolve and of the impact of this on how we live and work. It is illustrated by a range of excellent thought-provoking case studies.
Business Information Systems is a comprehensive teaching aid for both undergraduate and postgraduate university courses which covers both the fundamentals and also some more cutting edge aspects of information systems. The text is engaging and encourages students to learn and reflect.
