COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to cover a broad range of information technology concepts which
will allow you to gain insight knowledge about information systems, their technologies,
applications, development and ways to manage them. This knowledge is absolutely
mandatory for you as a potential manager in this information era. Today’s managers are
not only required to be computer literate, but also be information systems literate as well.

OBJECTIVES:
After the completion of this course, I hope that students will:
- understand the basic concepts of a system, information and an information system as a
general, so that you can apply this information system to the area in your
responsibility,
- understand the components of an IT system infrastructure and be familiar with
alternative approaches for providing and managing this infrastructure
- be prepared to manage IT for one or more business areas,
- be able to identify ways to use IT,
- be able to chose among different ways to acquire a new system based upon the type of
application and the technological and organizational environments,
- be able to guide the development or purchase of a new system that is effective, reliable
and secure,
- be able to effectively partner with IS specialist both internal and external to the
organization,
- understand the need for organizations to develop an information vision, and IT
architecture, and strategic and operational IT plans and be able to participate in these
processes,
- be able to develop the system that is changeable and consistent with the business
goals,
- anticipate the future impacts of IT on workers, organizations, and society.

COURSE’S REQUIREMENTS
This course requires you to do a thorough preparation of the assigned reading
materials and cases. My expectation is that you come to the class having already prepared
with the relevant materials that will be discussed in the class.
I also require you to answer some questions at the end of each chapter. Although
you need not to hand in this homework, but we will discuss some of the questions in
class. Also, some of these questions will appear in the exams.
I encourage active participation in the class. Students are free to ask any quests or
to give comments and ideas. Feel free to do so. Sometimes, I will ask some questions to
you. Students who are mostly staying quiet will get more chance to be asked in order for
them to speak up. If you feel inadequately prepared the materials, you may ask before
class not be called on or you may pass (of course, you will have a negative mark on this
behavior).
There are group presentations for six cases. Each group will present just one case.
Active participation for the floor is also needed.
In addition to the cases, I also provide you with some interesting articles. You
may voluntarily present the article and receive some extra points. In case that nobody
pick the articles, I will randomly assigned them to you.

My role in the class for case presentation is to be your facilitator/ moderator and
sometime also to be an intensive questioner to help you developing you ideas. You have
to convince your peers about your opinions and ideas. Use this classroom as a place to
practice sharing ideas. Mocking is strictly prohibited.

BIG PAPER
One individual paper is required. You have to submit the paper o the final exam day. The
paper should not exceed twenty pages. Topics of the paper have to be relevant with those
we discussed in the class.

GRADING:
Grading for the course will be based for the following:
Mid term exam : 30%
Final exam : 30%
Class participation : 25%
Big paper : 15%

Class participation includes case discussions. The successful students are those that
contribute a lot. Therefore, I will classify your contribution as follows.
- Outstanding Contributor
Contribution in class reflect thorough preparation. Ideas offered are usually substantive,
provide one or more major insights as well as direction for the class. Arguments, when
offered, are well substantiated and persuasively presented. If this person were not a
member of the class, the quality of the discussions would be diminished significantly.
- Good Contributor.
Contributions in class reflect thorough preparation. Ideas offered are usually
substantive, provide good insights and sometime direction for the class. Arguments,
when presented, are generally well-substantiated and are often persuasive. If this person
were not a member of the class, the quality of the discussion would be diminished
considerably.
- Adequate Contributor.
Contributions in class reflect satisfactory preparation. Ideas offered are usually
substantive, provide generally useful insights, but seldom offer a major new direction
for the discussion. Arguments are sometimes presented. and are fairly well-
substantiated and are sometimes persuasive. If this person were not a member of the
class, the quality of the discussion would be diminished somewhat.
- Non-participant.
This person has said little or nothing in the class. Hence, there is not adequate basis for
evaluation. If this person were not a member of the class, the quality of the discussion
would not be changed anyway.
- Unsatisfactory Contributor.
Contributions in class reflect inadequate preparation. Ideas offered are seldom
substantive or confusing, provide few if any, insights, but never offer a major new
direction for the discussion. Arguments are absent or repeat from others. This person is
at best can be said as a “cherry-picker” or a “free-rider” or “bonek.” If this person were
not a member of the class, the quality of the discussion would be increased.

OTHERS:
- Attendance is obviously necessary.
- I will appreciate students to be in the classroom before the class starts.
- No leaving the class without permission, especially in the middle of the lecture.
- No unrespected behavior.
