Strategic Information Systems Management
Lally School of Management and Technology - MGMT-6180

Description
Information technology (IT) is a strategic asset that is being used to mold competitive strategies and change organizational processes. As IT and its uses become more complex, developing strategies and systems to deliver the technology has become more difficult. The net result is a growing need for guidance on the issues, strategies, and tactics for managing the use of information technology. This course is designed to partially fulfill this need and to enable students to integrate concepts and theories learned in previous IT courses.

Prerequisites
Information Systems for Management (MGMT-6140), or students should have an understanding of how information technology is being used in organizations. Students should also have some background in Strategic Management either through course work or through work experience.
