Information Technology Management and Leadership

Catalog description

Information Technology Management and Leadership addresses the technical and human elements of managing technology within an organization. A technology leader must be able to identify the components of a technology infrastructure, including all of the technologies used within an organization and how they relate to one another. This is crucial for building effective technology solutions, improving efficiency and processes, and knowing how to identify and resolve technical problems. Equipped with this fundamental skill, students in the course will analyze a scenario to create a technology management strategy for an organization. This course considers the ethical responsibilities of leadership and management and the appropriate use of technological solutions within an organization. The course also provides opportunities for students to develop their own leadership strategy, an essential element of effectively influencing and organizing the people who will carry out technology strategies at the ground level. There are no prerequisites for this course.
