    BUSBIS 1060 - INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION SYSTEMS


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    IT does not matter it’s what you do with IT! Business in the 21st century runs on IT. However, competitive advantage seldom comes from having exclusive or proprietary access to a technology. Rather, IT comes from more effectively utilizing technologies to which everyone - including the competition - has access. The implications of this reality are many. First, it is necessary to understand what technologies are available in the marketplace and their capabilities. Next, and far more challenging, it is necessary to understand how these capabilities may positively (or negatively) interact with business strategy. Business transformation is the alignment of process, people, and technology such that IT can both support and innovate business strategies. Given that technologies evolve and develop at a rapid pace, IT is necessary for managers to understand what technologies can do (both established and new) and how IT can be leveraged to create real value.

    BUSBIS 1640 - IT ARCHITECTURE AND PLATFORMS


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    There is no such thing as a technology decision. There are only business decisions. The options and issues affecting the deployment and utilization of business information systems have grown in number and greatly increased in complexity since the internet and concomitant technologies have become the most important de-facto standards for business computing and networking. Business people who are involved in technology selection and deployment decisions need a basic knowledge of these areas as well as an understanding the value, costs and benefits they might offer to a business. They also must be able to find out about and evaluate new or emerging technologies and issues that could have relevance in their business situations. They then need to be able to explain all of this to other business people - in business terms. This course will utilize: lectures and presentations by the instructor and outside speakers to present current and relevant architectures and issues that affect businesses deploying information systems; full-length case studies and class discussion to facilitate the examination of the business implications of and the context in which these system deployment factors are involved; team projects to give the students experience in researching, understanding, evaluating and explaining information technologies and issues within a business context.

    BUSMKT 1470 - SPORTS MARKETING


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    This course will provide a framework for understanding how various marketing strategies are formulated, implemented, and evaluated in sports context. Sports have been one of the major economic activities of our modern society, and knowledge of the role marketing plays in its operation has emerged as a valuable asset to all the parties involved (e.g., firms, governments, consumers, and players). The course is organized into two themes; 1) sports as product and 2) sports as medium. The first theme focuses on the applications of marketing theories and principles to promote sports and sport related products. It puts the students in the shoes of a marketing manager of a sports related business. The second theme, on the other hand, considers sports as one of the vehicles to promote a product or service. It covers how non-sport related businesses can benefit from utilizing sports as a part of their marketing communication program. Another area that will be discussed throughout the course is the role of ethics in sports marketing. What we sell in both sports as product and sports as medium is the positive values that sports represent. Therefore, sports often serve as a platform to promote the core values of our society and introduce positive change. This unique nature of sports marketing provides us with an opportunity to integrate the business aspects of sports and ethical perspectives in its marketing. Issues such as gambling, Title IX, performance enhancing drugs, and social responsibilities of sports organizations will be discussed in length whenever it is relevant to the course material.

    Traditionally, chemical product design has focused on a set procedure for product development from conception to development and testing and finally the launching of the product. Unfortunately, this model which does not keep in mind the values or needs of the customer has resulted in a high number of failures for new product launches. What skills are thus needed in order to be entrepreneurial and succeed in the development of new chemical products within industry today? This course examines the initial stages on how to approach chemical product design from an innovation perspective complete with the provision of the necessary technical skills to get the job done while placing an emphasis on the business and entrepreneurial skills required to be successful in the chemical product design business.

    CHE 0314 - TAKING PRODUCTS TO MARKET: THE NEXT STEP IN CHEMICAL PRODUCT DESIGN


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    Traditionally, chemical product design has focused on a set procedure for product development from conception to development and testing and finally the launching of the product. Unfortunately, this model which does not keep in mind the values or needs of the customer has resulted in a high number of failures for new product launches. What skills are thus needed in order to be entrepreneurial and succeed in the development of new chemical products within industry today? This course is the next step in the chemical product design sequence and focuses on chemical product design and the development of business plans.
