The Strategic Impact of Information Technology (TECH-911-0)
1.00 Credit

Description:

This course counts toward the following majors: Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Technology Industry Management.

This course focuses on the intersection of business and technology. Central issues are the management implications of using information technology for process improvement and process innovation, managing customer relationships and optimizing supplier-based relationships. Case studies are used to highlight contextual issues, which surround the use of information technology linked to an organization's strategy and its use as an organizational change tool. These cases and supporting lectures are used to give students a clear view of how information technology can change the capabilities of an organization and thereby support the organization's strategy. A wide range of organizations is studied, including product-based, service-based and public sector. Each case is discussed from the general manager's perspective and emphasizes lessons learned in a framework developed specifically for this course. A major component of the student evaluation is the final project, which consists of writing a business case for technology-based organizational change.
