MGMT 5590

Information is a key resource for organizations and professionals. Innovative uses of information are often keys to survival and sustainability in today’s digital society. Information systems enable these uses and account for an increasing larger share of assets in most organizations. In this course, we will investigate a wide range of current issues in information systems and web-based applications with a particular emphasis on how organizations can leverage value from their information systems – that include digital technologies, processes, data, and people. We will also explore the principles of user interface design, systems analysis, information needs analysis, information systems requirements, and project planning. Finally, we will examine how modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been and are changing the way we communicate, collaborate, share information, innovate, perform, socialize and work, and how these technological changes are affecting the role and functions of information managers in the public and private sectors.
