Learning objectives
The aim of this course is to let the student appreciate the way that Information Systems (IS) can aid the realization of business objectives. In particular this course is aimed at providing:
· a critical understanding of role of IS in enabling business transformation;
· a critical understanding of some of the key issues in IS management;
· an understanding of why IS systems fail and approaches to counter these problems;
· a knowledge of several case studies in IS development and use.
· a critical understanding of role of IS in enabling business transformation;
· a critical understanding of some of the key issues in IS management;
· an understanding of why IS systems fail and approaches to counter these problems;
· a knowledge of several case studies in IS development and use.

Lesson period
Second semester
If it is not possible to carry out ordinary face-to-face lessons, following the schedule provided for teaching, the lessons will be held through the Teams platform in synchronous mode.
On the course page on Ariel, students will be able to find all the information on the lectures and any changes to the programme and its related documents (bibliography etc) in case of lockdown.
The means and criteria for participation in the live lectures, which will need booking through a specific app, will be indicated on the University website.
Finally, in case it proves impossible to hold the exam face to face, the exam will take place remotely, in ways which will be communicated on the course page on Ariel at the end of the course.
