The third edition of Database Principles maintains its engaging
writing style and brevity; its unique balance between theory and
practice; and its wealth of examples throughout the text. It
provides a solid and practical foundation for the design,
implementation and management of database systems. The new edition
has been updated with all the latest developments and technologies
and incorporates a generous number of localised and motivating
business vignettes that tie the concepts to real-life situations.
The coverage of SQL provides numerous examples and simpler
explanations that focus on areas most important for a database
career. This edition is suitable for a first course in databases at
undergraduate level and will also provide essential material for
conversion postgraduate courses. Providing comprehensive and
practical coverage of core database concepts, it is an ideal text
not only for those studying database management systems in the
context of computer science, but also those on courses in the areas
of information systems and business information technology.
Academia's Digital Voice: A Conversation on 21st Century Higher
Education provides critical information on an area that needs
particular attention given the rapid introduction and immersion
into digital technologies that took place during the pandemic,
including quality assurance and assessment. Sections discuss the
rapid changes called into question as student mobility, pedagogical
readiness of academics, technological readiness of institutions,
student readiness to adopt online learning, the value of higher
education, the value of distance learning, and the changing role of
administration and faculty were thrust upon institutions. The
unprecedented speed of international lockdowns caused by the
pandemic necessitated HEIs to make rapid changes in both teaching
and assessment approaches. The quality of these and sacrosanctity
of the academic voice has long been the central tenet of higher
education. While history is replete with challenges to this, the
current, rapid shift to online education may represent the greatest
threat and opportunity so far.
This is a business information systems textbook for a new education
system. The book helps overcome many of the difficulties faced by
first-year information systems students. Up-to-date material
includes a series of South African business case studies with
examples and exercises. A second, more formally structured section
describes, discusses, summarizes and reinforces key topics. The
business section covers application examples from small and large
business situations, from retail to manufacturing and financial
services sectors. The authors "chunk" much of the material in
problem-driven, rather than product-driven, sections, asserting
that some understanding of fundamental material is improved by
presentations in a comfortable, easy-to-read style.
