Management Information Systems Cases

This appendix presents several case studies that illustrate various problems that arise in MIS. They are based on publically available information regarding different organizations.

Concomitantly, the amount of time that faculty can spend conducting research an…

To Err Is Human

The knowledgeable health reporter for the Boston Globe, Betsy Lehman, died from an overdose during chemotherapy. Willie King had the wrong leg amputated.

Two large studies, one conducted in Colorado and Utah and the other in …

Interim Review of the Subsonic Assessment Project MANAGEMENT, SCIENCE, AND GOALS

Exhaust products emitted by the current subsonic-transport fleet may influence tropospheric ozone and clouds, and thus Earth’s climate. Such emissions in the upper troposphere may affect climate at the surface of the Earth by means of many chemical and meteorological processes. Some of these processes are poorly understood, and thus cannot be quantified with much certainty. NASA’s Atmo- …
