[Course Name] BA 523 [Overview] This course is designed for general managers who use information technology to achieve their business objectives; it is not particularly targeted at IT managers in the CIO's chain of command. As such, the course focuses on selected firm-level business implications of different aspects of IT, including strategic alignment, project management, data, off shoring/outsourcing, and information economics. The emphasis will consistently be on “what are the implications of this topic for business performance?” as opposed to “here’s how this technology works.” [Course Title]
