Preface

The purpose of these materials is to provide additional depth in a few key areas within the broad subject of management information systems. These materials should be accessed and printed by the end of the first week of class. Please bring these articles with you to class. You may wish to use a "three-hole punch" for each printed articles and place them in a three-ring binder for convenience. The placement and use of each article with the course is listed in the Course Outline.

The reference in brackets is a link to either the CSUCI Library online database or the public web site from which the article may be accessed. Most of the CSUCI Library databases oriented toward business students are collected the Business Subject index. Finding the article is probably best done with a search that uses the author's name and a keyword from the article title. With respect to the materials available via the CSUCI Library online databases, I recommend selecting the highest-quality print output that is available. This recommendation typically means selecting the "PDF" format.
