Computer Information Management Concentration
The business climate during the next decade will be characterized by rapid advances in technology, intense international competition and more complex markets. The dynamics of such an environment imply that the information needs of businesses will become increasingly more complex. This trend will necessitate that organizations employ individuals with backgrounds in information systems in order to be competitive. Even today, computer information systems are a central component of every aspect of business. Information systems are used by accountants to integrate data across the enterprise, marketing professionals to analyze sales data, financial analysts to track capital flow, human resource managers to evaluate employee performance, and operations managers to improve product and service quality.
The Computer Information Management concentration provides a study of information system tools, techniques, and skills necessary to perform in-depth systems analyses. Such analyses are utilized for business decision-making and managerial problem-solving.
