SOLUTION MANUAL FOR Introduction to Information Systems 9th Edition By R. Kelly Rainer, Brad Prince Chapter 1-14 With Technology Guide (1 2 3)-Today’s students use technology in ways that were not e... ven dreamed of just a decade ago. Because these students have grown up surrounded by and using technology, information technology is an integral part of their lives. Unfortunately, many students seldom think about the whys and wherefores behind the technology they use every day. I have found they often fail to recognize, understand, or even see how information technology impacts them, their lives, and their careers. So it is important to let them know what is in it for them, even if they are not majoring in information systems. The textbook authors do a good job of this by including a ―What’s In IT for Me?‖ section at the start of each chapter. Throughout this course, it is important for us to encourage our students to step back and observe the bigger picture of what comprises the fundamentals of management information systems. Unfortunately, you will find some students who will think this class is boring or even complain they already ―know it all.‖ Point out that they should look at the ―What’s In IT for Me?‖ section of the chapters. This should be done early in the course. As part of your introductions on the first day of class, you might consider asking students what their major is. Knowing each student’s major and possible career goals will help you tailor examples, classroom assignments and discussion to the interests of the students. Explaining how MIS has affected businesses as well as workers helps to get students interested in this class. It also helps when they are told stories of how computers have evolved and how MIS and decision support systems (discussed in a late chapter) have made management decision-making easier and more reliable. To support your class discussions and examples through the course, I try to bring in examples from the local area. Most communities around college and university campuses have businesses or government IM 1-2 Blackboard/CMS Suggestions Opening Case: The Digital and Physical Transformation of Grocery Stores agencies that operate data centers. Many times, students are unaware that they are there. In most cases, the local Chamber of Commerce or, if your school has one, a group of local business leaders who periodically meet with your dean might help you find these sites. You might also consider supporting your class discussions on the importance of computer technology with examples of how companies have moved to e-mail to save money over using snail mail (postal service). Students can be introduced to the concept that IT must be paired with business processes to harness IT’s potential. [Show More]
