This course highly contributes to an understanding about information systems and technology (IS/IT) and IS management in organizations. MIS broaches the mainstream Information Systems that managers can deploy in the Information Era. The course presents this subject with an organizational end strategic flavour avoiding pure technological discussions. Information Systems are considered always just a management tool to create value in the context of business models. This course prepares future managers to deal, without prejudice, with IS/IT strategic decisions and IT specialists. IS management is also covered in this course so that future managers can deal with the most correct IS governance mechanisms necessary to deploy strategic projects maintaining IS quality exploitation levels within acceptable patterns.
