Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book examines influential ideas within Management Information Systems (MIS). Leading international contributors summarize key topics and explore a variety of issues currently being discussed in the field. They re-visit influential ideas such as socio-technical theory, systems thinking, and structuration theory and demonstrate their relevance to newer ideas such as re-engineering, hybrid management, knowledge workers, and outsourcing. In locating MIS within an interdisciplinary context, particularly in the light of rapid technological changes, this book will form the link between past and future approaches to MIS.

Head injuries are common enough to be considered a public health problem. After primary prevention, the next opportunity to minimize the consequence of head injury is within the heath care system. . .The 'practical guide for the emergency room' concerns these problems faced most often by junior doctors in the emergency setting. It covers the routines needed for the evaluation of patients with head injuries for the admission or discharge, as well as the initial management of those with complicated injuries before advanced treatment is initiated. . .It offers a useful introduction to the area s well as recommendations for further reading.
