3 Credit(s)

The purpose of this course is to provide a thorough investigation into the emergent practices in information and knowledge management. Information technology has been and will continue to be an important catalyst of innovation in this field. Artificial intelligence, expert systems, and web-based technologies that support and transform the field of knowledge management are covered. The process of the discovery, capture, sharing, and application of knowledge and the related organizational learning are emphasized. Students gain experience designing executive information systems that support strategic decisions and designing support systems for knowledge-based decision makers throughout the organization. Because organizations are structuring their activities through globally dispersed teams, taking a process approach, and are even outsourcing selected processes, intra- and interorganizational collaboration and decision support are also covered in this course. Extensive use of SAP and other technologies are incorporated.
