Merging Technology and Business
Today’s economy is more competitive than ever before. Recent technological
advances have allowed businesses to “go global” faster than
their predecessors could have ever imagined. But how does it all happen,
and who follows the trends to make sure the average consumers and business
owners are getting the most for their money?
The Department of Information Systems
& Decision Sciences (ISDS), housed in the LSU’s E.
J. Ourso College of Business Administration, explores the relationships
between business and computer science. Through analysis and research,
ISDS experts can help organizations extract the most from the latest trends
in information
technology (IT).
The ISDS program at LSU directly addresses the challenges of information
control and manufacturing production to build more cost-effective and
efficent businesses. The curriculum involves management information systems
(MIS), which focus on the analysis, design, and implementation of computer-based
information systems to support the operations and management functions
of an organization.
Students have opportunities to participate in national and international
research endeavors through the Center
for Virtual Organization & Commerce (CVOC), while also gaining
a well-rounded education encompassing the study of many useful disciplines.
LSU’s Department of ISDS—with its range and depth of skills
in computer science, production management, quantitative analysis, and
business administration—also promotes the real-world experience
of working in teams using computer and analytical tools to tackle a variety
of important business problems.
