Competition Policy or Management and Information Systems

Competition Policy: Theory and Practice

Author: Massimo Motta

Offering a complete analysis of antitrust (or competition policy) issues, this study is enhanced by frequent references to antitrust cases and a few fully developed case studies. Although it can be used as an economics textbook in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, the book is equally accessible to lawyers, practitioners, and readers interested in antitrust issues, but unfamiliar with modern economics. Technical explanations of material are relegated to separate "technical" sections that can be skipped without losing continuity.

Book review:

Management and Information Systems: For the Information Age

Author: Stephen Haag

This text offers chapters that cover what instructors want students to know about MIS. The Extended Learning Modules (XLMs) show students what they can do with MIS. The instructor controls the mix by picking the chapters and XLMs to include in the course. A contemporary writing style and a wealth of examples engage students like no other MIS text.
