Core Management Courses

MSIS 605	Strategic Management of TechnologyThe strategic management of technology and its application on the path to innovation, from the perspective of the general manager at the product line, business unit, and in the executive suite. Students develop an understanding of the tools used in technology and innovation management. Case studies and examples from a variety of industries are a major element of the course.
MSIS 607	Effective Oral and Written Communication for ManagersEmphasizes the importance of good communication skills for corporate managers in the business world. This course identifies and reviews the foundations of business communication - listening, speaking, writing, and reading - and broadens students' experience by building communication skills using technologies and practical business applications. The goal of this course is for students to become confident, flexible, and resourceful communicators in the competitive intercultural global business community.
MSIS 609	Information Technology Project ManagementThe principles of project management and organizing and managing resources in order to complete projects in designated time-frames. In this course, students learn how to use IT architecture to bring order to the sometimes chaotic world of information systems, by defining a set of guidelines and standards and then adhering to them. Students learn to view IT architecture as a reflection and integral part of business strategy, rather than as a stand-alone entity. Students also gain a unique perspective on the issues surrounding the management of information technology in various organizations. Each topic is viewed pragmatically, through case studies analyzing how selected companies implemented various IT strategies and how those strategies affected the bottom line.
MSIS 695	Capstone Course: Information Systems Research Project SeminarProvides students with the opportunity to plan a major research paper or project and implement it from start to finish using a combination of their conceptual, technical, and applied knowledge. As the capstone course in the program, the project developed draws on the skills and knowledge gained throughout the program. Project deliverables have deadlines staggered throughout the semester.
