Course Overview and Course Objectives Organizations are increasingly complex as they transact and collaborate with a diverse set of customers and vendors. Products and services are created with shorter life cycles using a distributed workforce where employees, customers, vendors all may be located anywhere around the globe. Information technology plays a critical role in ensuring that the information needed to support such complex enterprises is available and can be effectively used. This course will help you develop systems thinking—the ability to understand the complexity of a business enterprise by systematically examining the business processes underlying the enterprise and the flow of information within and between such processes. Specifically, the ITM 209 course objectives are: 1. Develop strategic thinking and experiential skills on the use of information systems and business analytics in meeting business needs and objectives. 2. Learn about the role of information systems and business analytics in improving business performance. 3. Understand the principles of effective information technology management and business analytics use by individuals and organizations.

Information Technology Skills Information Technology skills taught in ITM 209 will enable students to: 1. Be able to model business processes and simulate financial and operational effects of a technological change on a company’s business process. 2. Be adept at extracting and analyzing data from a database to enhance managerial decision making. 3. Be adept at organizing and analyzing data for business decisions using business intelligence and data analytics tools. 4. Develop stronger skills in learning how to understand emerging business analytics and information technologies.

Accommodations The instructor is committed to making each student experience a pleasant and productive one as it is important to maximize everyone’s learning opportunities and experiences in ITM 209. Students who need special accommodations should feel free to speak with the instructor during the semester so that any special needs can be accommodated.

Assignments Scoring We will have several technology skill assignments that focus on integrating Information Technology and business skills development. Business Process Modeling using Arena, Data Analytics using Tableau and Business Intelligence using Microsoft Access are several of the technologies we will learn during the assignments. Any assignment handed in late, but within 24 hours of the due date will receive, at best, a low pass for the assignment grade. It is assumed that all work done for credit will be the result of the individual’s or authorized group’s unaided effort. Consequences associated with a student academic integrity violation are explained on Page 1 of the ITM 209 Syllabus.

Exams Scoring There will be three written multiple choice exams. Scantrons will be provided and only answers bubbled in on the scantrons will be counted. Each exam is worth 165 points. Students, who submit an approved and signed excused absence to the Instructor two days prior to the Exam, may have the opportunity to take an Essay Make-Up Exam, pending Instructor approval.

Team Project Scoring We will have a comprehensive team project, which focuses on the many aspects of how Information Technology and Business Analytics is used to improve business performance. The Team Project will be based on an integrative case which will be used to tie together the different concepts studied in class, including disruptive technologies and the New Economy, and will be worked on by teams as the semester progresses. The Instructor and TAs will provide guidance to teams as the team project assignments are given during lectures. Teams will be assigned in your Recitation Section for the team project. We have set aside some recitation sessions to work on the Team Project as a team with your TA providing guidance. One of the interim Team Project deliverables will be to create a spreadsheet depicting the cost benefit analysis of your proposal. This cost benefit analysis will be submitted by each student; however, the total team will work on the analysis together. Grading for the team project will be determined by both quality of project results and participation by individual team members on the team. Any team project handed in late, but within 24 hours of the due date will receive, at best, a low pass for the grade. It is assumed that all work done for credit will be the result of the individual’s or authorized group’s unaided effort. Consequences associated with a student or team member academic integrity violation are explained on Page 1 of the ITM 209 Syllabus.

Attendance Lecture and recitation attendance is expected and is essential to do well in the class. Many lectures will provide insights regarding assignments and exams and therefore attendance during lectures is highly recommended to succeed with the class. For lecture and recitation, you must attend the ITM 209 section for which you are registered. Each student is required to attend both recitations for the Team Project presentations to qualify for the team project participation points. Each student is required to attend the final recitation to earn points for the IT Research Survey assignment. Also, random quizzes will be offered in lecture to reinforce the learnings from both the instructor and the guest lecturers. Scantrons will be provided for the random quizzes and only the scantrons provided and the answers bubbled in on the provided scantrons will be counted. Total points awarded for the IT research survey assignment and attendance quizzes amount to 15 points, however, additional attendance quizzes with additional bonus points may be offered. Attendance is required to participate with the IT research survey assignment in recitation and the lecture quizzes and academic integrity and the honor code will be followed to validate student attendance and participation with attendance points.
