COURSE DESCRIPTION Information Systems (IS) are rapidly becoming the backbone of todays society as more and more businesses and organizations are increasingly relying on a wide array of information and communications technologies (ICT) to operate the firm. For instance, virtually all financial institutions such as banks have largely computerized their operations which are also linked with those of others. Think about what happens every time you use your debit or credit card in a store. Various information systems owned by a number of different institutions basically take care of your payment behind the scene. How do they make it happen? To answer that question, you will have to understand some basic concepts of information systems. What really are information systems? How do they function? How do they affect our lives? What are the issues of creating, implementing, and using these systems? The list of questions will go on. In this course, we will attempt to answer these questions by learning the foundational ideas of IS.
