SI 670: Information in Organizations
Focuses on information and knowledge management in organizations. Course adds to the material in SI 504, but aims the intellectual apparatus students built in SI 504 toward a specific problem: how organizations can handle their information more effectively. For the past several years, this problem has gone by the name "knowledge management," or KM. KM's bubble has burst, but there is an enduring problem. To the extent that organizations have repetitive activities and the people in them come to understand and learn, then we will augment and facilitate that understanding and learning. The intellectual goal of the course is for students to make sense of it. Students leave the course with a better understanding of how information is handled in an organizational setting; some new(er) technologies for handling information and knowledge; and an understanding of how hard this can be, and an intellectual framework for understanding future activities in this area.
