Overview: This course will survey a variety of topics
concerning information technology management in the twenty-first century. Our
main concerns will be the processes of the information technology group and how
the technologies influence the roles and techniques of general managers. There is a bias towards addressing issues
that concern senior executives at large firms. Nearly all of our case studies
come from actual administrative situations. Instructional techniques will
include lectures and case discussions.
