Course Description

QSIS 283: Business Information Systems

3 credits
 

This course provides the student with an overview of today's information systems (IS). The premise is that business initiatives should drive technology choices. Every discussion first addresses the business needs and then addresses the technology that supports those needs. This course is designed to give students the ability to understand how information technology can be a point of strength for an organization.

The student will demonstrate an understanding of complementary managerial views of information’s value and use within the organization via technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), data warehousing, and data mining. In addition, the student will study the flow of information through the organization using an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system as a framework. The student will also demonstrate an understanding of the complementary managerial views of information as an operational, managerial, and strategic resource.
