Overview: This course seeks to train future leaders of the Information Systems / Information Technology functional area. We will survey a variety of topics concerning information technology management in the twenty-first century. 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, case discussions, and a limited amount of small group work.
