"Each of us who teaches Accounting Information Systems (AIS) faces the problem of providing students a comprehensive, but interesting knowledge base of AIS. However, we all know that it is difficult to find the right balance of coverage of technical concepts and student comprehension. When addressing this issue of balance, we began to see clearly that a better, more comprehensible approach was needed. With this book, faculty have argued that we have achieved a good balance of covering technical concepts and adding real world examples, while still making the text easy to read and understand. Our textbook also reinforces AIS concepts with relevant, real-world examples and reasonable end-of-chapter materials"--
When you open this page we ask eCampus, Amazon, Knetbooks, BiggerBooks, VitalSource and RedShelf for their current prices on ISBN 9781119577836 and sort every offer by its total with shipping. Rental rows show the term (semester, quarter or short term) and that term goes with you to the store's cart, and eBook rows link straight to the 180-day or no-expiry option you picked. Prices are rechecked at least every 30 minutes, so confirm the total at checkout.
