Outline of lecture
The overall objectives of this course are to investigate the nature and techniques of business
information system development project. In a real field, IS (Information Systems) Managers
(e.g. designers or developers) who enable to operate an organization successfully in changing
environments. Their roles are to identify the core systems窶 ideas, problems, and opportunities
and to synthesize new solutions in the multiple organizations and complex digital societies.
To address these issues, this class is designed for master students as a project-based learning,
focusing on business information systems project (BISP). During this course, we will deal with
two parts. The one is 窶枠enerating systems core concepts窶, and the other is 窶賄eveloping the core
systems concepts in order to discover new business-design opportunities窶. In the first part,
we will cover a variety methods for generating the core systems concepts. In particular, you will
learn the relationships between methods and ideas for identifying information system project窶冱
targets and benefits based on a customer-centered view. In the second part, we will develop
the identified business informaiton systems concepts for discovering new business-design
opportunities.
In order to do this, we will use three major activities in the class: (1) lecture with reading and
discussion, (2) in-class exercises and presentation, and (3) studio project sessions. The reading
and discussion sessions are assigned in order to increase your knowledge about the relevant
issues. The in-class exercises and presentation will characterize how you can productively use
specific techniques and tools presented this course. During the studio sessions, you will learn
tangible techniques to organize a problem-solving on business information systems project.
Throughout the course, you will learn how you can identify business project ideas, problems,
opportunities, and solutions based on two cycles: 1) generating systems core concepts; and 2)
developing the core systems concepts in order to discover new business-design opportunities.
