Course Description
In nowadays business IT has become more than a mere administrative service that supports and maintains the technological infrastructure. IT is a critical success factor for many new and old business models that aim to gain a competitive advantage in their respective market. Accordingly, the management of IT has gained a significant strategic impact on the performance of companies and organizations.
The course IT-Management aims to enable graduates to analyze IT-Management scenarios. In the course we discuss the strategic background, evaluate different disciplines in IT-Management (e.g. IT-Architecture, IT-Project Management) and have a look at current IT-Management solutions. The course content provides means and directions for future IT professionals (e.g. CIOs) to make decisions about technical architectures, operational scenarios and the organization of IT-Management projects.
Case Study Method
Participants adopt the role of an IT professional to solve concrete case scenarios of real-world organizations. The scenarios are presented in case studies. During the sessions the participants will discuss different courses of action to solve the given problem scenario. Subsequently, the solution will be introduced and explained. By that, the participants learn to analyse a given IT-Management scenario, to identify potential problems and to develop possible solutions.
The lecture will mainly be held in the form of a dialogue.
