&>For introductory undergraduate courses, and MBA-level MIS and Information Systems courses that want to integrate business with technology.  

These authoritative authors continue to define the MIS course by providing comprehensive and integrative coverage of essential new technologies, information system applications, and their impact on business models and managerial decision making in an exciting and interactive manner. 

What approach do you take in the classroom when teaching MIS?  Are there certain techniques you find more successful than others in trying to help students understand the concepts associated with information systems?

Integrated Framework: Laudon, 10/e provides an integrated framework showing how information systems are composed of management, organization and technology elements.   The importance of these three elements is reinforced in classroom projects and case studies using examples from business and public organizations that are familiar to students.  The emphasis is on integrating business with technology understanding. 

Some examples of integrative elements featured in each chapter include:

·        Chapter opening cases introduce a real-world organization and establish the theme and importance of the chapter; Pg. 81

·        A diagram analyzes the opening case in terms of the management, organization and technology model used throughout; Pg. 82

·        Two Interactive Sessions and one Case Study per chapter require students to apply the framework when analyzing information system problems.  Over 60 real-world business cases are included in this text.

o       Interactive Sessions p. 101, 107

o       Case Study Questions, p. 102

o       MIS in Action Projects, p. 102

·        A Hands-On MIS section gives students experience working with software tools and data to develop business solutions using systems, p. 115, 3.5

·        A Teamwork Project develops teamwork and presentation skills.  These show students how to implement systems and technologies so that firms receive real business value from IS expenditures; Pg. 120

How do you keep your lessons interactive so that students become more involved and engaged in the classroom? How much time do you spend on group projects and hands-on presentations in your course?

Interactive Learning: This new edition focuses on interactive learning by allowing students to work on real-world business scenarios and data. Here they learn first-hand how firms are using information systems and technologies to transform business models, develop new strategies, innovate with new services and products, achieve operational excellence and enhance decision making.

·        Hands-On MIS. Each chapter concludes with three projects that give students a real “feel” for MIS using Excel, Access, Web software, and business information on the Web.

• Pg. 115, 3.5

·        Interactive Sessions. In each chapter, Interactive Sessions engage students in classroom discussions of leading business firms’ use of information systems.
