Lecture Description:
This course focuses on the use and impact of information systems (IS) in business today.
The four main goals of the course are:
- Give an overview of information systems

- Understand their strategic importance at both the organizational and user levels
- Give a general orientation to how information systems will impact you within an organization and a first look at some of the technology
The relationship between business processes and information systems is critical to the successful implementation and use of information systems. Although this is not a programming or hands-on technology course we will be looking at some of the ways that business processes and data are modeled in addition to examining the nature of information systems and strategies. The use of IS is ubiquitous in organizations in the public and private sectors today, and anyone working in or for an organization will benefit from the materials in this course.
