Educational Aims

The course is a detailed and in-depth presentation of all the concepts and aspects of modern methodologies for the development of management information systems.

By the end of this course the student will be able to:

  • understand the new social and economic reality and know the meaning and content of Management Information Systems used in business
  • analyze in depth, by level of administrative operation and structure, the role and importance of Management Information Systems for the new digital business
  • deal with the analysis and design of a Management Information Management System as a systematic system analysis and design methodology
  • use object-oriented techniques for analysis and design of Management Information Systems
  • use project management and business planning techniques and integrate them into the process of analysis and design of Management Information Systems
  • identify the appropriate methodology, as appropriate, depending on the nature of the Management Information System and its limitations
  • systematically investigate the impact of alternative methodologies, techniques, decisions and strategies
  • exploit the potential offered by the various methodologies, techniques and various analysis and design tools for Management Information Systems to optimally address organizational and business planning, modeling, design and development as well as software issues
  • evaluate various methodologies of analysis and design of Management Information Systems
  • communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist public
  • develop knowledge acquisition skills needed to continue to post graduate studies with a high degree of autonomy
  • gather and interpret relevant data (in their knowledge field) to form judgments that include reflection on relevant scientific issues 

Student Evaluation

Written examination after the end of the semester (100%) including:

  • Multiple-choice questions
