Innovations and New Technologies

Description

This course explores the use of technologies as an essential component in addressing business problems and capturing business opportunities. By examining new and promising information technologies, Information Systems students are given the opportunity to develop a deeper, better understanding of technologies (and science behind them), how they work, what they can and what they cannot do. Understanding the nature of the technology, including the costs/benefits and externalities, will also put the student in a position to critique and even develop business strategy and crafting competitive advantage proposals that would have the intent of leveraging technologies for maximizing profit, reducing costs, enhancing product and service delivery, and improving customer satisfaction. In this course, students will evaluate the impact and consequences of technology in the financial, managerial, and organizational aspects of the corporate environment. CMO No. 25, Series 2015.
