| GRBU 643 - Current Topics in IS Mgmt |
|
This course explores current trends in IS management and technologies, focusing on issues of most concern to executives in information management. The primary elements of the course are 1) the opportunity to interact with executives in information systems management, and 2) individual exploration of current IS topics of interest.
Given the nature of the class and the need for efficiency during the six-week time-frame, the class will feature a ‘blended’ approach involving a combination of face-to-face and on-line components:
Face-to-face:
Over the six-week session, students will meet once per week for approximately two hours (6-8PM), during which they will 1) interact with executives in various areas of information systems managements, and 2) give presentations on individual research topics to be determined on the first day of class. Presentations will likely include a formal discussion of a main topic of interest, as well as a less-formal ‘briefing’ on a secondary topic.
On-line:
In the on-line setting, students will participate in discussions pertaining to their assigned research topic, as well as to other topics that will be assigned. ‘Briefings’ are likely to be a part of the on-line component as well. An objective of the course is to compile a ‘knowledge base’ of current IS topics that will be available to all students at the end.
Grading:
Grading will be based on the student’s main research project and presentation, secondary topic briefings, and class participation (both face-to-face and on-line).
