Objectives: |
Modern business organizations
are, to significant extents, joint, human-computer information processing systems.
The roles played by computers in assisting humans in business problem solving
span a wide range. We now have systems oriented toward electronic data
processing, generation of office and management information, decision
support, offering expert advice and exhibiting human intelligence. This course is an introduction
to computer-based information systems. The primary objective is to provide
undergraduate students majoring or minoring in
business with an overview of such systems from an organizational, people, and
technology standpoints. The students will learn concepts for understanding
information systems, purposes and scopes of various kinds of information
systems in business, database management, and systems analysis and design. In
addition, students get some hands-on exposure to practical aspects of
information systems development. |
