Preparation for the Information systems applications course

I share three articles for required reading. The articles may vary, but the theme is the following.

An article on the required thinking for preparing to be a learner in the business information systems world. An article on leadership is suggested in order to convey the importance of leadership for decision making. An article on the type of business the learners require to understand more about.

For example, here is a sample of the articles I chose for one of my classes.

Davis, S., & Botkin, J. (1994). The Coming of Knowledge-Based Business. Harvard Business Review, 72(5), 165-170.

The key words can be used in the MIT open courses available online or at any digital library to understand more about the topics.

A few information technology related or digital information related regulation and Acts are introduced. These will also give insights on the ethics in the business information systems field.
