Now in its second edition, this book provides twenty-two hands-on cases for use as a supplement to an Introduction to IS/MIS text. Designed to teach students about the use of database applications, spreadsheet applications, and web design via small business scenarios, the book's approach to learning MS Office skills differs from every other casebook on the market. Instead of having students follow a formulaic problem-solving strategy, each problem in the book is context-based and forces students to think through the requirements of the particular small-business scenario. Built with a consistent pedagogical design, this applied thinking approach will prepare students to use MS Office in their careers as a tool for making business decisions.

The small business cases range from tracking business revenue within multiple stores to a restaurant remodel cost projection, a chiropractic office inventory andR client database, and many others.
