This class is taught during the Spring Semester only. Core concepts of the course include how business services are provided through technology, from their strategic inception through the phases of design, implementation, and finally operation that are required to implement that service or group of services.
The application of these concepts will be analyzed through the study of technology’s role in business right on Drew's campus, as well as via industry trends (like cloud computing) and technology news (like the study of healthcare.gov's design and implementation challenges or the business and technology considerations for the smartphone app Waze).
Throughout the semester, guest speakers will discuss their business & technology experiences with the class. Some of the guest speakers are Drew alumni, while others are contacts that the instructor will invite to the class when their area of expertise matches the topics currently being discussed in class.
