Much of the information found in these e-books probably will be basic in nature, but you will probably find some good points for your research in one of all of them. So give these a once over and see if any work for you.

Ambidextrous Organizations in the Big Data Era: The Role of Information Systems by According to Britannica.com, an Information System is an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data and for delivering information, knowledge, and digital products.
For this assignment, you will compose a 500-word minimum paper that identifies 3 different companies that use Information Systems. Then for each company, describe the WHAT the company actually uses, the HOW the company uses it, and the WHY the company needs to implement this system within itself.
Example: Dunkin Donuts uses a Radiant POS Information System. This system collects all information on sales, inventory, staff, etc. The company then uses this information for projected ordering, hiring, and sales growth.
In the closing paragraph of your paper, describe the impact that these companies have on our society and how the use of this technology plays a role in their impact. Would their companies have such an impact if they did not use these information systems?
Paper Format:
Apply appropriate technology tools and resources to locate and retrieve information from various sources (e.g., on-line, libraries, etc.) while completing this assignment. Use proper English grammar and spelling, normal page margins, and standard formatting of Microsoft Word. Include at least 3 sources at the end of the paper. Resources to write your paper can be collected from various Internet sites using Google, and you are welcome to visit the [http://egcc%20library/]EGCC Library (Links to an external site.) as well.
Be sure to review the assignment rubric before submitting to ensure you have met all evaluation criteria.
There are two ways in which you can research this paper. This box walks you through both of them. However, regardless of either of these methods, there is one universal piece of advice that you should keep in mind while researching this paper. You do not need library resources for this. The library databases will prove to be a very difficult place to find the information you need. Therefore utilize Google for your search. However, the information you find must be judged and evaluated. Use some of the advice found in the Evaluating Information Guide to assess the usefulness and accuracy of the sources.
The first method deals with choosing the information system first. The second deals with choosing the companies first. One has more prep work but makes your research easier in the long run, the second seems like it will provide instantaneous results, but may set up road blocks if you’re not careful. Also, some companies use more than one system because of the complexity of corporate culture.
You are asked to write a paper with a certain amount of words and are scared because 100, 150 or even 200 words sound daunting. This gives you an idea of approximately how many words those truly are. (Most if not all resources outside the library.)
In short, you are writing around 2-2.5 pages. And remember, you have to write about three companies and an introduction and conclusion. Therefore, you think you're going to need a ton of information, but it's not as much as you think.
If you have read the Britannica article but still are a little unsure about what Information Systems are, these two links are guaranteed to give you a better perspective of what this term means. Not only that, but these two links will provide some good background research you can use to start your paper off.
Even though the best research for this paper is found on Google, if you are really insistent on using Library resources, you will want to use following Database and especially the journal title. Also, the Guide Page listed below will be of use:
Computer & Applied Science Complete (CASC) covers the research and development spectrum of the computing and applied sciences disciplines. It contains collected knowledge on traditional engineering challenges & research, and is a resource for research concerning the business and social implications of new technology.
As many of you are new to researching in the library, you may get stuck with some technical navigation along the way. These FAQS will help you with various aspects of the technical navigation of the library.
