Many excellent ideas never see the light of day because they were ineffectively communicated. Practice is the only way to learn how to make more effective presentations. This course complements the broad perspective presented in MGMT 240 with a more detailed focus on a single selected topic. Provides focused, in-depth analysis of particular topics in information systems. Where MGMT 240, Introduction to Information Systems, provides a very broad overview of many different topics in information systems, this course will select one on these topics and explore it in much greater detail.
Heavy emphasis is placed on interactive group projects and implications for management.
May be repeated for credit under different topics. This course is a mix of lecture and discussion classes that focus on one of the topics indicated above. Lecture notes are provided in Power Point format on the course web site for the lectures. Each topic will involve exploration of one or more case studies which help students understand how the particular concepts presented in the lecture are actually applied in the business environment and supported with information systems. A significant portion of this course is devoted to a group project.
