Changing Student Roles: This text recognizes that while some students will become information systems managers, many more will enter professions as consultants, business analysts, accountants, marketing professionals, talent development specialists, volunteers, virtual team leaders, forensic experts, legal advisors, and project managers, while also introducing emerging professions, such as data scientists. These roles are featured in the text’s examples, case studies, and simulations.
Inspiring Students to Pursue Promising Careers: With the goal of conveying the excitement and potential of the field of information systems, the text includes countless examples of how savvy men and women leverage information systems to transform organizations, and even build new empires.
