Management Information Systems

Catalog description

Management information systems technology is pervasive in every aspect of an organization. A modern enterprise’s competitive capabilities, productivity, efficiency and effectiveness are dependent on the workforce’s ability to understand, use and apply technology to achieve organizational goals. Because of its dynamic nature, managers are required to be at the cutting- edge of current, emergent, and disruptive information systems technologies. Unlike traditional MIS instructional delivery, this innovative course departs from tradition by first discussing the organizational strategic business initiatives and then analyzes how the available technologies can be harnessed to support them. The hypothesis is that business decisions should drive technology decisions and choices. The course will cover and integrate the core theories, concepts and applications of the MIS discipline and strategic business management. Students’ knowledge of the discipline will be enhanced through questions, case studies, exercises, and group and individual projects.
