Our course looks at Enterprise IT, how to create, use, and manage it with success. We look at a variety of situations, especially ELECTRONIC COMMERCE, and pose a series of challenges that we discuss in class. We will run the course partly as a seminar. Students make CRITICAL PRESENTATIONS asking tough questions and illustrate their ideas with CASE DISCUSSIONS. Our major question is "What determines the success or failure of an enterprise in a networked economy and what can managers do about that?"
Items below marked [*] are dynamic and will change during the course. A study guide for the midterm (or final) will appear a week before the scheduled date. Chapter critiques will be supplied by the students, including a presentation of the major points of each chapter, in the form of PowerPoint presentations (or equivalent HTML). Notes for the case presentations will occasionally be posted.
