Item INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY(SAGE Publications, 2012-06-02) Nguyen Thu LoanWe present our experience in designing a course of Introduction to Information Technology (IIT) for the first-year students. The main purpose of this course is to introduce the concepts of computing and computer, and to present a hierarchy of information technology (IT) knowledge from basic to advance through the introduction of syllabus system, research trends of our faculty, IT applications in society, ethics and career potentials in IT. The content of this course is set up to meet the Standard 4 in CDIO. We divide the introduction into two courses and teach the first- year students in the first and second semesters. The first course is the introduction of computer, computing, internet, ethics, and some technical skills of analysis, design, implementation, and testing. This is an overview of IT from the outsiders. The second is a hierarchy of IT knowledge from basic to advance through education systems and research in our faculty. This is an overview of IT from inside viewpoint. We also present some experiences about the project based approach for labs and explain how we train personal skills and professional attitude for our students. Finally, we conclude by providing comments with pros and cons in operating the courses.Item The role of information technology in the organization(sage Publication, 2001) Todd Dewett; Gareth R. JonesThis paper reviews and extends recent scholarly and popular literature to provide a broad overview of how information technology (IT) impacts organizational characteristics and outcomes. First, based on a review of the literature, we describe two of the principal performance enhancing bene®ts of IT: information ef®ciencies and information synergies, and identify ®ve main organizational outcomes of the application of IT that embody these bene®ts. We then discuss the role that IT plays in moderating the relationship between organizational characteristics including structure, size, learning, culture, and interorganizational relationships and the most strategic outcomes, organizational ef®ciency and innovation. Throughout we discuss the limitations and possible negative consequences of the use of IT and close by considering several key areas for future research. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.
