Information technology (IT) has been
transforming business operations for decades, and the pace of change is only
increasing. To be successful in the "information age," organizations will need
people who are knowledgeable about both the opportunities and the pitfalls
associated with IT. BA 370 has been designed to help OSU business students
better understand IT, how organizations may tap the potential benefits of IT,
and reduce the risks associated with IT. For an organization to thrive in
today’s business environment, managers and functional specialists in all areas –
finance, accounting, marketing, production and operations management, human
resources, and international business must perform their jobs effectively and
efficiently. The BA370 course helps students from different options understand
that IT plays a major role in supporting all organizational personnel regardless
of their functional areas. The course helps students understand that IT
provides the tools that enable all organizational personnel to solve complex
problems and to capitalize on opportunities that contribute to the success of an
organization. |
