Pearson Custom Database Program

Romney will be available immediately in the Pearson Custom Database Program so that professors who teach a flexible course have a flexible solution. Further, alternate versions of Chapters 15-17 are available, which highlight the two other competing notations for your classroom. Information on how to create a custom book will be in a card in the front of every free copy.

Integrated Case Study

Each chapter begins with an integrated case that introduces key concepts and topics and identifies several key issues or problems that you should be able to solve after mastering the material presented in that chapter. The case is referenced throughout the chapter and the chapter summary presents solutions to the problems and issues raised in the case.

Focus Boxes and Real-World Examples

Focus Boxes and real-world examples are available throughout the text to help you understand how companies are using the latest IT developments to improve their AIS. Updated with globally relevant content helps your student apply theory! Some examples include: Threats in the Expenditure Cycle in Europe, Loafing” on the Job’ in Asia and dangers of a direct conversion to ERP SAP in the Middle East

Hands-On Excel and Access

Hands-on Excel and Access exercises in many chapters have been included to help students hone their computer skills. Many of these exercises are based on “how-to” tutorials that appeared in recent issues of the Journal of Accountancy. This introduces them to the wealth of IT-related knowledge that is available in the professional literature.

Comprehensive Glossary

A comprehensive glossary located at the back of the book makes it easy to look up the definition of the various technical terms used in the text. Students will need to understand the “language of IT” in order to effectively audit, use, manage, or sell consulting ideas to information systems professionals.
