Information technology (IT) has had a dramatic impact on how individuals and organizations work, and is an important force shaping entire industries and value creation by firms. Most business school graduates will have IT related responsibilities during their careers, no matter which functional area they are in, and will be involved in efforts to select, adopt, and exploit information technologies in support of business goals. The goal of this course is to prepare students to execute these responsibilities effectively, and to be able to do so even as the set of available technologies changes over time. The course presents students with frameworks that let them analyze business situations involving IT in a structured way. It will also help them develop sophisticated understanding of the links between IT, business strategy, and business process. They will also gain an appreciation of the organizational and management practices that complement IT investments.
