AEM 4610

Digital Business Transformation with Enterprise Systems

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

Business processes are supported by a complex software infrastructure that interlinks, automates and increases their efficiency. The emphasis of this course is on this software, its relationships to business processes, and how firms can use the data generated by these systems to make decisions more effectively. The course will use a simulation game employing hands-on work with an enterprise software system to understand these relationships and case studies to understand the challenges and best practices for implementing these systems. Students will also investigate the complementary organizational and process adjustment necessary for using enterprise data most successfully. This course will prepare students for careers in management, supply chain, and IT consulting, as well as careers in sales and marketing focused on IT products.
