Greetings and Welcome to BUS 230 online! This course examines how technology and information systems affect business. It is therefore a good course to take if you are majoring in Business or Information Technology/Systems. (In fact, most Business degrees require an MIS course.) But it's also a relevant and interesting course if you just want a better handle on how businesses make use of technology. The course isn't designed to be a real technical course - there isn't any programming or traditional computer science-type components. Instead, the emphasis is on the profitable and effective use of systems in business.
