About the Book

· Guides: Each chapter includes three guides that focus on current issues in information systems. One addresses ethics, one addresses security, and the third addresses information systems careers.

· Chapter Introduction Business Example: Each chapter begins with a description of a business situation that motivates the need for the chapter’s contents. The authors focus on two different businesses over the course of the text: Falcon Security, a provider of aerial surveillance and inspection services; and ARES, an augmented reality exercise startup opportunity.

· Query-Based Chapter Format: Each chapter starts with a list of questions, and each major heading is a question. The Active Review contains tasks for students to perform in order to demonstrate their ability to answer the questions.

· So What?: Each chapter of this text includes an exercise called “So What?” This feature challenges students to apply the knowledge they’ve gained from the chapter to themselves, often in a personal way. The goal is to drive home the relevancy of the chapter’s contents to their future professional lives. It presents a current issue in IS that is relevant to the chapter content and asks students to consider why that issue matters to them as future business professionals.

· 2027?: Each chapter concludes with a discussion of how the concepts, technology, and systems described in that chapter might change by 2027.
