Study Strategy Based On Your Background Liberal Arts Science and Engineering Business MIS and Computer Science

Liberal Arts Almost every topic will be new! Learning “Computer Information System” in Business Perspective Designed to support generating more revenue and saving cost (CSR – next slide) Might feel it is very technical. Most primary theories are driven from Math.

Four Components of CSR Responsibility Societal Expectation Examples Economic Required Be profitable. Maximize sales, minimize costs. Legal Obey laws, adhere to regulations Ethical Expected Avoid questionable practices. Do what is right, fair, and just Philanthropic Desired/ Expected Be a good corporate citizen. Give back. © 2015 Cengage Learning

Science & Engineering I also have engineering background (IE) Understand your point of view Technical MIS topics Might be OK with technical knowledge but might feel that covering little bit too many (non-homogeneous) topics Pay attention to managerial knowledge of MIS and try to focus on business implication of technical MIS knowledge

Business Compare the course with your undergraduate MIS course Pay attention to new topics such as big data Might feel more technical Trend: focus more on technical MIS knowledge Pay attention to implication of technical MIS knowledge and new topics (e.g., GIS)

MIS and Computer Science Feel very comfortable with all the technical topics MIS: Comfortable with almost every topic Computer Science: all the technical topics Pay attention to managerial implication of new topics such as Big Data. If your undergraduate major is MIS or Computer Science or if you are an IT specialist, I can offer an alternative course.
