In this course we will use trade journal resources to stay current with the latest news in the industry. The course is designed to be a discussion rather than lecture course. The focus will be applying the information. Most of the technical concepts that we are working with are concepts that you have been introduced to in previous coursework. Using a discussion, case study, and current event format we will explore these concepts in greater detail.
Information technology continues to change at a dizzying pace.
Therefore, most organizations have a mix of new and legacy hardware, software, systems development approaches, and other management systems. Managers must be aware that they will be operating in an imperfect, highly dynamic world. They will need to keep abreast of important developments and trends and understand what is ideally possible today and tomorrow. Understanding your role is essential. You will be managing at a time when 70 percent of all jobs deal with information.
