COURSE CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRAM

New information technologies are radically transforming how people interrelate, as well as how companies, social institutions and business industries organise themselves. Through this course, we provide students with a general understanding of the basic technologies producing this transformation. This will require students to use this same technology to conceptualise, design and implement information technologies which can represent or support new business or organisational models.

Course Learning Objectives

The aim of this course is for students to learn how to:

-See companies as information systems
-Obtain information from data sets
-Analyse and create conceptual models of information systems
-Implement these conceptual models by creating prototypes
-Understand the possibilities that information technologies offer managers to design or redesign their organisations

CONTENT

1. Introduction to information systems

2. Information transformation

3. Information structure

Participatory sessions: During these sessions the students will undertake a range of activities such as the completion of exercises and case studies, learning how to use the Access database management system, team presentations of studies undertaken and the analysis and diagnosis of a business scenario. From time to time students will also be tested on the knowledge they have acquired through their independent study.

Partial exams: During the academic year a number of partial tests will be given, representing 20% of the final mark. All the topics in these tests may also be included on the final exam.

Final exam: The final exam is compulsory for all students and represents 40% of the final mark.

Class participation: Faculty will grade students on the basis of class activities, the work completed and the assessment of the participatory classes; this mark represents 20% of the final grade. During the participatory sessions a selection of exercises from the course collection will be completed. The students will then be required to complete the remaining exercises on their own. During the next class the lecturer can request students, individually or in pairs, to submit the work that has been set.

General conditions:
