UACS 157 I - Computers in the Workplace

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course will introduce key concepts of computers and Information Systems (IS) to students who are pursuing a degree in Business Administration. The course’s main focus is on the use of computers in the business workplace, while at the same time studying the underlying technology using case studies and “real-life” scenarios. Further, the design of this course provides the opportunity for students to view IS from the perspective of fulfilling business and organizational needs. Because IS are used for a wide variety of business functional contexts, the course contains specific emphasis on the use of case studies. The case studies chosen describe effective and innovative use of computers and information system solutions that achieve relevant businesses goals. Armed with the understanding of computer technology, it is anticipated that students will be able to review and assess how computers and IS are integrated into today’s business workplace.
