Mixing concepts, techniques and practical detail in a business context, this book aims to provide a sound basis on which business studies, business information systems and business computing students can build in order to succeed as managers in computing and IT environments. It assumes little prior knowledge of computing or business, concentrating on aspects related to using and managing the technology, not to buiding it. The text is designed for HND and first year undergraduates and uses illustrative examples which relate to students' likely experience.
