This course taught me a lot about how IT is used in a business sense and why things like business intelligence and information security are important. In this class we wrote a lot of papers on different topics such as achieving competitive advantage with info systems and why business intelligence is an important aspect of a company. Many of the works I’ve done in this class are linked down below.
