MBI Course Work, (1997)

Systems Analysis and Design

Systems analysis and design is an integrative approach using many tools to systematically improve business through the implementation or improvement of information technology. This course looked not only at the availability and use of various hardware and software including project management and object-oriented techniques, but also looked to the integration of ERP systems and technologies on the horizon.

Decision Support Systems and Executive Information Systems

This course focused on the design and use of computer-based systems that assist human decision making processes. The main body of decision support deals with individual decision making. Increasingly, the broader context of group decision support and the integration of decision support systems into an organizational context have taken on a more significant role.

Computer Supported Work

While the bulk of ICT costs arise in "back office" settings, the critical point for making the system succeed or fail is often in the interface to human users. If "people" are happy, the system is a success, whether the system seeks to make an individual worker more productive, seeks to facilitate group work within an organization or seeks to create group applications across organizational boundaries. Issues addressed interface, usability, instructions, and screen designs.

ICT Elements and Architecture

This class focused on the bits/bytes and acronyms of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) world. The goal was to give students insights into the hardware and software in their environment.   It was an "as is" assessment of the system and provide insight into programming, databases and telecomms.

Enterprise Data Management

The organization of data is a vital element in successful business performance. Traditionally, courses focusing on databases focused on the specific structuring and building of a variety of database types. This course, however, concentrated on the relationships between data items, focusing on the contexts in which data is needed, and how managers must be capable of visualizing data in order to facilitate applications covering one-on-one marketing and mass individualization within an organization or on the www.

Strategic Issues in ICT

The program concluded with a case-based module concerning issues of global ICT. Cross-cultural issues of multi-country roll-outs or local adaptation will be addressed, as will be issues concerning the globalization of ICT strategy to support business processes, especially their role in the areas of electronic markets.
