Custom Edition for the University of Montana Course Description: The aim of this course is to integrate the conceptual fields of information systems and operations management for the purpose of providing students with a sophisticated view of the interrelationship between information technology and the firm. The first third of the class is focused upon exploring the fundamental elements of the field of information systems. This portion of the course will allow us to examine how various technologies employed in contemporary organizations enhance (and sometimes detract from) a firm's competitive position. While pursuing these topics we will avoid 'technological determinism' by studying the difficult challenges presented by advanced technologies in contemporary society. Once we have established a foundation in IS we will then explore a modem view of operations management by studying operational issues as they relate to the service and manufacturing sector. This will be accomplished through the application of quantitative models to a diverse mix of business problems. Objectives - By the conclusion of the course students will understand: • 	 The complementary roles of systems and operations management in organizational life • 	 Information Systems and Competitive Advantage • 	 Enterprise Wide Information Systems • 	 The importance of aligning technology with organizational strategy • 	 The elements of process management • 	 The role of technology in the firm and the challenges associated with managing technology • 	 Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) • 	 The principles that underpin Total Quality Management • 	 Statistical Process Control • 	 Supply Chain Management • 	 Business Forecasting • 	 Inventory Management • The elements of effective Resource Planning and allocation Grading: 3 Exams = 80% of final grade Attendance = 20% of final grade Extra credit (oral presentation) * Make-up exams will ONLY be given to students who can provide documentation of illness or an extenuating circumstance. The final exam must be taken for successful completion of the course. Please notify me immediately if you miss an exam. **Homework will be given on a regular basis and reviewed thoroughly during class. After homework is assigned we will spend a considerable period of time discussing every assigned problem in depth. However, I do not collect homework and it has no impact upon your final grade.
