Think about it. You live in the digital age. Every time you go to a concert, buy food and clothes, vote in an election, donate blood or put gas in your car, the information generated from that transaction is collected, analyzed and used by private (business) and public (government) sector organizations to provide the goods and services that you need or desire every day.
Information systems management fuses business management with contemporary information systems to collect, track, store, organize, interpret and apply information to provide support and direction for an organization. Information systems management professionals are needed to help their organizations be more productive and profitable, gain competitive advantage, reach more customers and improve service to existing customers, provide data security, spot trends, maintain inventory, understand client base and identify potential new markets. Business professionals who can make sound decisions when choosing, implementing and using these systems are invaluable.
Designed for students with an aptitude for understanding the complexities of information technology, the information systems management major in the Wayne State University Mike Ilitch School of Business emphasizes a managerial approach to information systems.
