Short description
The book has a unique organization that increases the readers comfort with the material by starting with what they have experienced as individuals. The spiral organization leads readers from the individual, to the organization, to the business partner perspective. After covering the basics, the book covers how organizations use IS and technology to support knowledge workers as they make decisions and solve problems to create business value. Huber then takes a business-partner perspective that discusses how technology can support new relationships between organizations and their customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
