Business Driven Technology with MISource 2007 and Student CD

BDT takes a business–first approach, starting each chapter by explaining the value of a business initiative and then detailing the technology that enables the initiative. This revolutionary approach instantly demonstrates the €˜why‘ to business students without boring them with the €˜how‘. The adaptive chapter/plug–in organization allows the instructor to adjust content according to their business or technical preferences.
