As technology continues to evolve at a breathtaking speed, the managerial process that controls and deploys it struggles to keep pace. The last two decades have witnessed a tenfold increase in information technology (IT) investments by U.S. firms. Given such large investments, managing IT is one of the most critical issues facing most businesses.
Georgia Tech's IT Management courses focus on the role of information systems in organizations and the design and development of such systems. Topics include electronic commerce, database systems, systems analysis and design, business data communications, international IT management issues, and additional courses that help you apply information technology to business applications.
