Course Objective
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the evolving field of information systems (IS) from an organizational prospective. A wide range of topics are covered beginning with the fundamentals of systems, information, organizations, the underlying Information Technology (IT) as well as the ethical issues for IS/IT in today’s enterprises. A contemporary perspective on IT is provided by emphasizing current topics (e.g. IT infrastructure and the Internet technology) before presenting the E-commerce and E-Business developments which are radically transforming the traditional organizations and our lives. Throughout the course, we explore implications of this new IS/IT – digital firm – scenario for corporate management in today’s global business environments.
