Essentials of Business Processes and Information Systems
bridges the gap between the fundamentals of how businesses operate
(processes) and the tools that business people use to accomplish their
tasks (systems). The authors have developed this supplement text for an
introductory MIS or general business course to establish a fundamental
understanding of business processes. Business students, regardless of
their functional discipline, will be able to apply the real-world
concepts discussed in this text immediately upon entering the workforce.
As more and more businesses adopt enterprise systems globally, it
becomes increasingly important for business schools to offer a
process-based curriculum to better reflect the realities of modern
business. Given the integration of business operations and enterprise
systems, Magal and Word have designed this text to reflect, in a
practical and accessible format, how real-world business processes are
managed and executed.
