Course objectives:
This seminar will not exhaust the literature in an attempt
to prepare you for your comprehensive examinations. Rather, our purpose
is to show you how to find the literature on any specific topic
and to critically read that material. One goal, therefore, is to secure
a framework within which all of the various MIS/DSS (including SIS, e-commerce,
data wareshousing, knowledge management) areas will make sense. Another
goal is to sharpen your teaching/presentation skills. Your success in this
course will depend primarily on your ability to present complex material
in a coherent fashion.
