Experiencing Mis, Global Edition

Abstract

The changes in this seventh edition, Global Edition, are listed in Table 1. Substantial changes were made in Chapter 1 to strengthen the argument for MIS being the most important course in the business curriculum. The chapter now looks at the Digital Revolution and the exponential change happening to technology. It discusses how digital devices are changing due to increased processing power (Moore’s Law), connectivity (Metcalfe’s Law), network speed (Nielsen’s Law), and storage capacity (Kryder’s Law). It then gives examples of how new technology creates entirely new types of businesses and forces existing businesses to change the way they operate.
