Class Description:	IST 700 is a 3-credit on-line graduate course taught by a practicing Chief Information Officer (CIO). The course examines the role of CIO's as key decision-makers in the public and private sectors. As a leader at the apex of information resources management, the CIO position offers a unique lens for examining senior executive perspectives on the strategic use of information systems and technology in large, complex organizations. The course uses readings, case studies, current literature, legislation, and guest speakers to review the private sector origin of the CIO position in the 1980's, emergence in the public sector in the 1990’s, and current issues. Through weekly on-line discussions, students will examine the many executive competencies needed for successful performance as a CIO, methods which CIO's use to deal with technical, strategic, financial, and administrative issues, executive relationships, and the potential value of CIO's to public and private organizations. Students will also complete a case study on a CIO in the public or private sector and a directed research paper on a CIO-related topic of interest approved by the instructor. ** SYLLABUS IS FROM SUMMER 2007 : UPDATED SYLLABUS WILL BE ADDED WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE **
