Introduction To Information Technology, 2nd Ed

This book is based on the fundamental premise that the major role of information technology (IT) is to support employees, regardless of their functional area (e.g. sales, marketing, accounting, HR) or level in the organization. Intense global competition, a heightened focus on the bottom line, and an increasingly rapid pace of change are forcing organizations, and their employees, to continuously improve their performance. IT provides the tools that enable all employees to better perform.
