Abstract:

Management Information Systems (MIS) is a formal discipline within business education that bridges the gap between computer science and the well-known business disciplines of finance, marketing, and management. In its most general terms, information systems encompass any interactions between organized data and people. MIS can be the means by which information is transmitted (such as the Internet), the software that displays the information (such as Microsoft Excel), or the systems that manage the data. In this course, the student will learn about the various components of information systems and how to leverage them in business. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Describe the use and function of Management Information Systems; Describe and evaluate Information Systems Development processes and techniques; Identify and evaluate hardware and software requirements for Information Systems; Evaluate Data Management technologies; Explain the security risks associated with Management Information Systems.
