Offering case studies, a variety of exercises, flexibility of use, and coverage of a broad range of accounting and other issues, this edition reviews the essentials of an AIS and shows readers how they apply in the real world. Thirteen cases involving a wide variety of organizations - a women's retail clothing chain, a road construction firm, a horse farm and a city government - cover each of the phases of the system life-cycle: analysis, design, implementation and operation, as well as the familiar accounting applications.
