Educational objectives

Information technology (IT) is the application of computers to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data in the context of a business or other enterprise. IT is considered a subset of information and communications technology (ICT). In business is very frequent to use IT in order to obtain information to be used for decision making. Systems used to achieve this goal are called Management Information Systems (MIS). MIS are very frequently used in companies aiming to provide quick information to the management. The purpose of MIS is reporting and providing the necessary information to the managers and supervisors at various levels to help them to discharge their functions of organising, planning, control and decision making. MIS is a scientific way of collecting, processing, storing and communicating information relating to the various activities of an organisation to the various levels of management so that management may be facilitated in discharging its functions efficiently and run the organisation in an efficient manner for the betterment of all. The aim of this course is to provide information on all essential elements that compose MIS and to analyze the role of technology in order to give students a broad knowledge of all tools to be used for an efficient and effective company management.

The basic aim of the course is to provide students with the theoretical and technical knowledge in order to understand and use the tools and models that are based on the management of information systems. Students will be provided with the information concerning the current business models, the ways to increase competitive advantage with IT and MIS, how to manage and understand databases and data warehouses, which is the role and the advantage of the decision support systems, which may be the advantage of entering in the electronic commerce, how a system may be developed with information systems, which is the role played by a dynamic enterprise, how to protect data and which are the future trends.
