Computer-Based Info Systems

Catalog description

Information technology has radically changed the internal operations of organizations and market places in which they compete. The tool kit of skills of the business professional must include the understanding of the fundamentals of information technology and its impacts on the other areas of business--strategic management, finance, accounting, marketing, and operations. This course is intended to provide the basic set of skills. Although it is necessary to have a technology basis, the focus will be on how technology can be applied in business, how it can be used to create products, how it can serve as an agent of change in reorganizing business processes, and how it can radically improve business decision making. Lab fee.
