by Kenneth C. Laudon, Jane Laudon

Published 2019656 pagesISBN 978-0-1351-9192-7

Laudon’s essential case-based text for the study of IS in business today. Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm provides the most comprehensive overview of information systems, while drawing connections between MIS and business performance. The Laudons are known for their outstanding real-world case studies, which describe how well-known companies use IT to solve problems and achieve business objectives. You will develop sought-after skills, and be adept at leading IS-related management discussions and using IT to meet bottom-line results. Each chapter of the 17th edition has been thoroughly updated to cover the latest industry and technology changes.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Best when you want to settle into a longer reading experience.

Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
  2. Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
  3. How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
