  2. “Tech Wreck”, “Dot Bombs”, etc.???!!!!

  3. Check out previous patterns of Speculation, Bust, and Re-growth …

  4. Check the pattern for canals, electricity, automobiles, radio, etc…. WOAAA!!! Pets.com doesn’t have a good business model!! Sell, sell, SELL!!!! Oooh, cool innovation… buy, buy, BUY!!! Ah, the innovation really WAS good. Slow, rational build out. The “Golden Age”. about 30 years Time

  5. “But speculative bubbles, it's worth remembering, have accompanied everything truly "new" in U.S. economic history, from canal mania in the 1830s to the radio craze of the 1920s. Investors invariably got burned for letting their exuberance get ahead of reality (who knew that 500 automobile startups would be too many?). But when the smoke cleared, the basis of a new economy was left standing: railroad tracks that would help create a national mass market; telegraph lines that would facilitate the rise of modern big business; electricity grids that would revolutionize manufacturing and extend the working day. "To think that the new economy is over," futurist Alvin Toffler argues, "is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke." In other words, the Internet is like these Victorian technologies: a general-purpose infrastructure that can make all economic activities more efficient, as well as wholly new ones possible.” -- Business 2.0 Quote

  6. …right now: The “HI-TECH Act” • The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009. • The Act includes the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act). • The purpose of the HITECH Act is to promote the use of health information technology with a goal of utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014.

  7. Goal of OMIS and this class: Senior Management Technical Specialists YOU

  8. “We need an information system to solve this Problem!!!” More specific goal of this class (with apologies to Ernst & Young): From THOUGHT…

  9. … to FINISH!!!!!!!!

  10. What happens in between is what Systems Analysts do!!!!! Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step N

  11. The Course • ·Vocabulary. It is impossible to have a conversation, understand, develop or manage anything, if basic terminology is not understood. There are many acronyms and concepts in the field of Systems Analysis and Design and Project Management, and discussions of these terms permeate the course. • ·Managerial Relevance. It is useless to have a vocabulary without an understanding of each term's importance and relevance. Systems Analysis and Project Management terms and concepts discussed are placed into their appropriate business context(s), and management frameworks are demonstrated that lead to strategies which will create competitive advantage. • ·“Hands on” Development Skills. Visual Basic is presented and used as a full scale development tool of the Microsoft paradigm.

  12. Vocabulary • Terms are defined well in the Dennis book. If you would like another version, try “www.webopedia.com”. • You should be prepared each session to discuss / ask questions about terms and concepts you do not understand. • Terms and concepts will appear on the five quizzes.

  13. Managerial Relevance • We will demonstrate where terms fit in a business context. • We will build systems and indicate which type of system is which. • We will discuss the relative competitive advantage of different types of systems.

  14. “Hands on” Development Skills • We will build systems, using Visual Basic throughout the semester. • You will complete 5 individual Visual Basic assignments. • With your group, you will manage a systems project to build an information system in VB for a client that has an actual problem.

  15. Other Administrative Stuff • Who am I? • Who are you? • Groups • Logins
