Introduction to the Course: We have embarked on a new era of competition, one that is faster paced, more global, and increasingly volatile, simultaneously requiring that firms find new ways to differentiate and to create value while relentlessly reducing costs. Some of the most important investment decisions senior management can make to meet this challenge are in information technology (IT). The objective of this course is to provide an understanding of the tasks that senior managers undertake with regards to IT within an organizational context. The course is not an engineering course about technologies underlying IT; it is about how managers can make informed IT related decisions regardless of their level of comfort with technology. To this end, this course deals with strategically and managerially relevant issues pertaining to the use of IT in an organization.
Q1: Can firms afford to treat IT as a commodity that they can purchase from vendors and service providers?
Q2: Give an example, preferably from your workplace, of (i) a process where IT has been (or can be) used to drive cost savings, and (ii) a process where IT has been (or can be) used to drive revenue growth.
