MIS WEEK 1

Management and Information Systems

Week 1 Lecture.-

The first lecture consisted on the challenges of the 21st century for organisations as well as the 3 waves of changes which are: 

- Civilisation base.

- Industrial revolution.

- Information age.

The topic that attracted me the most was the E-business innovations and the opportunities since google was launched. Its development was remarkable. The technology has grown very fast as well, the mobile phones, social media and information systems specially. 

Thanks to this lecture I know what e-Business is and how it works. Hopefully it is going to help me a lot in the future in order to handle my family business which is the import and export of cars and in the near future E-Business is going to ply a vital role on its improvement.

Week 1 Seminar.-

In this first session we were taught how to use blogger.com for the blogs we need to upload weekly, this was interesting as I never thought that I would be writing blogs about my studies. This is going to be really helpful to improve my writing skills and my vocabulary as well. Miss Sussie also showed us how to upload videos on youtube which was not something new to me as I have helped my cousins upload videos to their youtube channels. At the end the lecturer gave us  the deadlines for all our assignments.

Week 1 Group Discussion.-

In this very first session the lecturer gave a very short description on how the course is going to be assessed as well as the division of groups of 5 explaining the two assignments for this semester. After this we were given a business case which we had to analyse and speak about it, something really very interesting and full of fun.
