Abstract
Most of the existing computer science and data-processing programs are either vocationally-oriented aiming at entry-level positions, or theoretical programs with no direct career orientation. By contrast, this program aims at a synthesis of theoretical, “design-strategy” and practical approaches. By design strategy approach we mean emphasizing a particular type of system, i.e. real-time data-base management or a particular application, i.e. payroll, registration and how that will affect the design constraints from analysis to implementation.

New information systems leaders: a changing role in a changing world
It is widely argued that the information systems (IS) leadership function has undergone fundamental changes over the past decade. TO better understand the changes, this study compares the backgrounds, responsibilities, reporting relationships, and power ...
Strategies for staffing the information systems department
Strategies for managing IS/IT personnelThe chapter explores the main factors contributing to high IS staff skill shortages, high turnover rates, job stress, and burnout. We provide managerial implications and practical "best practice" recommendations for action. Some of the recommendations ...
