MIS 440 (Senior level) “Supply Chain Information Systems”
Technology continues to drive the way companies do business. With the ubiquity of the Internet came e-commerce and online marketing. Now organizations are working to establish c-commerce (collaborative commerce). The challenge faced by management is to remove traditional barriers within and across companies, whether geographical, departmental, personnel, customer, vendor, distributer or business partner with the goal to seamlessly integrate the entire supply chain. This class studies the technologies that organizations are using to create c-commerce systems, the challenges the organizations face, solution methodologies, and current practices.
MIS 531 (Graduate) “Business Software Development”
A survey of business-oriented programming languages with emphasis on design, writing, debugging and testing of computer programs for business transaction processing, and managerial decision-support. Topics include structured programming and file processing.
MIS 539 (Graduate level) “Computer-based Decision Support Systems”
This course explains the characteristics, use, and development of decision support systems (DSS) within the context of other business information systems. The process of designing and implementing decision support systems in business is discussed from both theoretical and practical standpoints. Students will learn to use common software tools to develop a simple DSS.
