Enterprise Information Systems: A Pattern-Based Approach 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Cheryl Dunn, J. Owen Cherrington and Anita Hollander offer pattern-based approach to designing enterprise information systems with a particular emphasis on the enterprise-wide database. This edition is built on the idea that a separation between accounting information systems and management information systems should not exist.
This text follows the REA model, an innovative approach to teaching information systems, developed by Bill McCarthy of Michigan State University. The REA model is the framework for analyzing the relationship between an organization's critical Resources, Events, and Agents. It reflects the fact this approach considers the enterprise-wide implications of information systems rather than simply the accounting implications. Students will benefit from this theoretical foundation for enterprise systems because it provides a glimpse of what is possible in enterprise systems yet also permits comparison to existing systems.
Real-world examples incorporated into each chapter through Case in Point boxes help reinforce concepts. The running cases throughout the text help students better connect the theory with practical problems and solutions. The Robert Schott Woodwinds examples in Chs. 2 through 4 ties together the value system modeling, value chain modeling, business process modeling, and database implementation. Practical examples using hypothetical, but realistic distributors are provided in Chs. 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13. In Ch. 11 a hypothetical cookie manufacture helps to make the conversion cycle more concrete.
We believe patterns help people see the "big picture" of enterprises more clearly and therefore help design better systems. We believe you cannot identify anything that we need to account for that we do not also need to manage; nor can we identify anything we need to manage that we do not also need to account for. In this edition, we will show how a well-designed REA-based Accounting Information System is the Enterprise Information System.
