This course provides the student with theoretical and practical experience in applying microcomputer software (such as spreadsheet, database, graphics, and/or traditional programming
languages) to support organizational decision-making processes. The concepts addressed include: analyzing business problems; identifying the information needed to make strategic and functional decisions; identifying software best suited to the problem solution; and designing, developing, and implementing the solution. Case studies that address information processing problems from various business and other disciplines are used throughout the course. The course builds on fundamental
