- 1. IUBAT—International University of Business Agriculture and Technology Founded 1991 by Md. Alimullah Miyan College of Engineering and Technology Course No: MGT 301 / CSC 451 Course Name: Management Information System Fall-2011 Course Instructor: Md. Alamgir Bhuyan Office: CETC Contact: 8963523-27 Ext-126 (Office) Cell: 01716247889 Consultation Time: Sunday (9:00am - 11:00am) Wednesday (03:00pm - 05:00pm) Credit Hour: 03 Total Hours: 39 (With Practical Classes and Presentation) COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES Today, in business, we see the emergence of a new digital firm. Global business opportunities afforded by electronic business and electronic commerce combined with the exponential change in technology power and capacities have fueled the creation of this digital firm. Every aspect of the firm is not only touched by the digital process, but has been transformed by it. Managing information systems has become a task for all levels of managers and all functional areas of the business. In today’s digital firm there is no escaping the opportunities (as well as the challenges) that technology brings. The nine editions of Management Information Systems and this instructor’s manual focus on understanding the nature of the digital firm and the key issues in organizing and managing it. Managers of digital firms need to identify the challenges facing their firms; understand the technologies that will help them meet these challenges; design business processes to take advantage of the technologies; and create management procedures and policies to implement the required changes. As instructors, we are usually more comfortable in either the management “camp” or the technology “camp”. Both the text and this manual seek to support and supplement the teaching styles and abilities of both kinds of instructors. Management Information System 1

The aim of the course is to enable students to assess the opportunities and problems that managers in a wide range of organizations face as they attempt to use these IT applications to add value to their businesses. It also aims to help students understand transformational changes within and across industries. These changes have strategic implications for many businesses. SPECIFIC OUTCOMES Upon successful completion of this subject students should: Explain basic concepts for IT/ICT/IS management Discuss organizational, business and strategic issues surrounding IT/ICT/IS, and Analyze and evaluate uses of strategic IT/ICT/IS in practice.

Tentative Exam Schedule Exam Date MPoints Exam I - 45 Minute 50 Points Exam II - 45 Minute 50 Points Exam III - 45 Minute 50 Points Exam IV - 45 Minute 50 Points Final Exam - 180 Minute 100 Points Work Load In order to do well in this course, most of you should plan on nine-ten hours a week reading chapters, studying slides, doing homework, and doing group study. Assignments Will Say "Assignment" In the Title Late Assignments/ Projects Normal late penalty shall be 20% Per Day. One little mistake can keep a computer program from running. I recommend that you try to complete a computer program the day it is assigned; if you have difficulty, this provides time in which you can come by the office for help (if needed). Homework - Homework Assignments Will Say "HW" or "Homework" In the Title Written Homework Homework Due Next Class Period Unless Specified Otherwise On Class The Schedule Page! Written homework will be assigned regularly throughout the semester. Since there is little or no serious programming involved in the homework, there is little reason to give credit to late work. All written homework is to be completed individually. None of the written homework assignments are team related. The written homework should help review you for the exam. No answer key will be provided. Homework will be spot checked for completeness. Although Homework may be spot checked for accuracy, it will not be graded question by question. If more than 10% of a homework assignment is late or incorrect, the grade will be a 0. Management Information System 3
- 4. Late Written Homework The only reason I would take the time to write some review questions is to keep you looking at the material throughout the semester. I do not accomplish this when a student waits until just before the exam to do the homework. Thus late homework is worth little. Normal late penalty shall be 50% Per Day For Example When Homework Are Due All Labs & Homework Due Next Class Period Unless Specified Otherwise On Class The Schedule Page! Attendance Policy Attendance & Class Participation is worth 50 points. You may miss one week of class without penalty. Classes missed because you are representing the university on an athletic team, debate team, etc. are excused. One week of classes should suffice for personal business, normal illness, etc. Classes Missed: Points for Attendance 0, 1, 2 10 3 09 4 07 5 05 6 03 7 or more 0 I will generally take roll during the first three minutes of class. If You Are Not There When I Take Roll, You Are Absent For The Day Grade Breakdown Attendance 10 points Management Information System 4
- 5. Exams 70 points Homework & Projects 20 points Total 100 points The Final Grade will be calculated by dividing the Points Earned by the Points Possible. Each student should record their quiz grades and retain all graded assignments from the entire semester. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain the number of points they have earned so that they can do a current grade calculation at any time. Instructor’s Profile Md.
