Intended to support a basic text in SA&amp;D; not a stand-alone text; Business school courses, attended by non-MIS majors; half of the students will not go on to be MIS majors, but need to understand the SDLC in a business context. This collection illustrates the various stages of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC); each stage is supported by several different case studies from a wide variety of organizations. This casebook will be independent of any specific textbook, but the author will include links to Irwin/McGraw-Hill SA&amp;D texts in the IM.

A great deal of research has been done on the quantitative indicators used in hockey player evaluation, but for the most part, the analysis of qualitative factors has been elusive. Until this book. Hockey Players' Personality Contribution to Team Performance examines many of the statistical tools and quantitative measures used to assess hockey players-such as goals, assists, and save percentages-and then moves beyond this with new research to help measure a player's qualitative characteristics-or "spirit"-with an objective, scientific approach. Based on extensive interviews and research with both Canadian and Swiss hockey players, Hunter reveals six key themes or characteristics that contribute to a hockey player's success as a "team" or "character" player-including what happens during a stoppage in play, on the bench, or in the dressing room. From these, he then offers a Player Assessment Form as a practical tool for hockey coaches, scouts, and team assistants (as well as for coaches in other team sports) to measure players' characteristics and strengths that have previously been hard to evaluate. Informative and innovative, Hockey Player Contribution to Team Performance will appeal to all with an interest in the science of sports statistics and evaluation....

Information resource management is too often seen as a domain dominated by technology, or, at best, one in which human considerations are secondary to and dependent on technological systems. Socio-Technical and Human Cognition Elements of Information Systems brings together chapters from Europe, Australasia, Canada and the Americas, all drawn together by the common theme of the book. It will present information management not as technology influenced by people, but as fundamentally a people-centred domain.

GIM research continues to progress, with some scholars pushing the boundaries of thinking and others challenging the status quo. Advanced Topics in Global Information Management, Volume 5 is a part of this series. Advanced Topics in Global Information Management, Volume 5 discusses how many businesses exist in a global environment. Whether they are large or small companies, they may have suppliers or customers that reside in different geographical locations. The ability to function in this global environment has been facilitated by the use of information technology. Through research projects, this book addresses the ability of both large and small business, and government, from the national level to local level, to function in altered environments by using information technology. In all of these situations, both businesses and governments must be able to function and respond to various stakeholders by adopting the appropriate, and necessary, cultural perspective.

Contemporary Chief Information Officers: Management Experiences explores the experiences of contemporary Chief Information Officers in the United States, Taiwan, and New Zealand, who agreed to participate and to be identified by name and company. The CIO role is now more of the management role but it still requires knowledge and leadership skills in the application of technology. The focus is now on employing technology to address business goals. Those who aspire be a CIO must know the expectations of the senior management team, the team needs to understand the role they play, and everyone must concur on how they will meet corporate objectives. In addition to providing valuable information about the role of the CIO, Contemporary Chief Information Officers: Management Experiences looks at interaction with other parts of the organization, as well as external relationships with vendors and suppliers. These insights have been provided by practicing CIOs. Their comments will prove valuable to both current CIOs and those who aspire to the role.
