| Course Objectives: This course introduces you to the conceptual foundations of information systems (IS). Although we emphasize managerial implications of information systems, we will also discuss the technical aspect of information systems and its relevance to all business functions. As the Internet revolutionizes the way we conduct business, its implications on business planning, operations, and control will be examined. |

| Course Outcome(s) is/are measurable or not: If Yes, please suggest ways to measure: 1. P3: We spend 2 to 3 weeks of lectures on systems development. Students discuss realistic cases from different industries in different countries in class. This can be measured by the number of weeks of lectures and the number of cases used in class. 2. P4: Students are mingled up in class and form groups for case studies. They are also required to form groups for a term project. This can be measured by the number of cases done in class and examining the term project. 3. P6: In case studies, students are reminded to examine the professional and ethical implications of their recommended solutions. This can be measured by examining case description. 4. P7: Students discuss their cases in groups. This can be measured by examining the syllabus. 5. P8: Cases are chosen to cover different situations. This can be measured by compiling a collection of cases used in this course. 6. P9: Students are made to do their own reading, problem identification, and analysis. These skills are essential to life-long learning. This cannot be measured. 7. P10: The nature of the course requires one stay abreast of contemporary issues. This can be measured by examining the topics discussed in lectures. 8. P11: The nature of the course naturally satisfies this requirement. This can be measured by examining the topics discussed in lectures. 9. P13: Cases are carefully chosen to cover different industrial situations. This can be measured by examining the cases used in this course. |
