9 courses with the subject MIS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MIS 1010Managing with Information Systems3
Fall and Spring Semesters This course teaches students about the manager’s role in designing information systems (IS) that truly satisfy the information needs and strategies of the business. This course focuses on three broad areas- how IS supports business processes, how IS/data-driven business processes are built on a sound database design, and how organizations should manage their IS functions. Some topics we cover include- enterprise architecture and enterprise systems, IS/ security management frameworks, and introduction to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, enterprise systems such as SAP, blockchain, and on-demand cloud computing. Most importantly, students will learn about how data-driven business processes form the backbone of an organization and how to model/map those processes as both dynamic data flow models and static/structural data models. Students will learn to use their data models to design a SQL database that can be connected to an enterprise system or a business website (we will not be building a website). They will learn how business reports/ dashboards are created in an information system by using SQL queries that pull out relevant information from the SQL databases that are connected to the business applications. Students will design and execute SQL queries to acquire the necessary information to answer business questions and solve problems.
MIS 2020Business Intelligence, Web and Social Media Analytics3
In this course we focus on analyzing certain types of big data captured on the web such as social media data, website traffic data and data about mobile application usage. We then learn how to apply the insight gathered from the analysis of data to marketing, product development, customer engagement etc. We apply a cutting edge technique called Social Network Theory to analyze data imported from online social networks. 4/5 Social Media Analysts and 9/10 Social Media Producers do not know about social network theory and so learning about this growing new area can help set students. apart in the workplace. Students will also learn about website analytics and how to gain insight that can help you make better business decisions. We will focus on understanding the audience that come to your website, their interests, behavior and learn about measuring the return on investment for the different channels that bring visitors to your website. Analysis of mobile application usage will also be covered. There will be a semester long client project where students will interview clients periodically and present their recommendations at the end of the semester.
This course provides a strong grounding in the concepts of electronic commerce and the process of selling products and services online. We will examine the technology of the internet and the emerging business models enabled by the Internet. This course will also teach students who are not programmers how to design and develop a simple e-commerce web application so that they have a better understanding of the issues associated with web development. Students will also learn about the key dimensions of e-commerce security and how technology can help secure internet communications channels and organizational data. We will discuss the features and functionality of electronic billing payment systems and consider the ethical, social and political issues raised by e-commerce. Through these experiences students will gain an appreciation of the critical role that technology plays in bringing innovative products and services to the digital marketplace and enhancing the digital customer experience. This course meets the Curry Core International/ Global Interdependence requirement for all majors.
This course is designed to provide the student with a thorough understanding of the role that enterprise systems play in an organization. Enterprise systems are now essential infra- structure to both large corporate entities, as well as to small- to-medium (SME) organizations, as they remove the need to have a large number of separate individual computer-based applications. Enterprise systems include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, Business Analytics, and other business process applications, that integrate a range of various applications into a single package. In this course students will learn how to plan, implement, and manage the integration of enterprise IS. Students will also learn to manage enterprise IS projects including how to put together a project charter, define project goals, and develop project teams, schedules, and budgets.
