WMBA 6080 - Management Information Systems

(3 Lecture Hours 0 Lab Hours 3 Credit Hours)

The Management Information Systems course is designed to provide a framework for understanding how technology can support (or hinder) organizational success, impacting decision making from operational activities to strategic decisions. Course lectures, discussions, application-oriented activities, team-based activities, and individual essays are used to develop the ability to incorporate academic theories into business practice. Business cases, current events, and personal experiences are discussed to help students learn to find points of success or failure based on the theories presented in class. Student teams investigate emerging technology topics and record videos to apply the new technology to business opportunities. The final project is an interview with the CIO (or equivalent) that allows you to apply these skills in a personal way to develop a framework for IT decisions.
