Business-Driven Technology - Paige Baltzan

Unlike any other MIS textbook franchise our Baltzan texts (Business Driven Technology Business Driven Information Systems and M: Information Systems) discuss various business initiatives first and how technology supports those initiatives second. The premise for this unique approach is that business initiatives should drive technology choices. Every discussion in these texts first addresses the business needs and then addresses the technology that supports those needs.
