Instructor Manual for Introduction to Information Systems, 7th Edition by

Kelly Rainer, Bra Prince (All Chapters) A+

Chapter 1 – Introduction to Information Systems

1.1 Why Should I Study Information Systems?

1.2 Overview of Computer-Based Information Systems

1.3 How Does IT Impact Organizations?

1.4 Importance of Information Systems to Society

1. Identify the reasons why being an informed user of information systems is important in

today’s world.

2. Describe the various types of computer-based information systems in an organization.

3. Discuss ways in which information technology can affect managers and nonmanagerial

workers.

4. Identify positive and negative societal effects of the increased use of information

technology.

Today’s students use technology in ways that were not even dreamed of just a decade ago.

However, because these students have grown up surrounded by and using various technologies,

1

information technology has become an integral part of their lives. Unfortunately, many students

seldom think about the whys and wherefores behind the technologies the use every day.

I have found they often fail to recognize, understand or even see how information technology

impacts them, their lives and their careers. So it is important to let them know what is in it for

them, even if they are not majoring in information Systems. The textbook authors do a good job

of this by including a “What’s In It For Me?” section at the start of each chapter.

Throughout this course, it is important for us, their instructors, to encourage our students to step

back and observe the bigger picture as to what comprises the fundamentals of Management

Information Systems. Unfortunately, if you have not found out already, you will find some

students who will think this class is boring or even complain they already “know it all”.

Point out that they should look at the “What’s In It For Me?” section of the chapters. This should

be done early in the course. As part of your course introductions on the first day of class, you

might consider asking students what their major course of study is. Knowing each student’s

major and possible career goals will help you tailor examples, classroom assignments and

discussion to the interests of the students.

Explaining how MIS has affected businesses as well as workers alike helps to get students

interested in this class. It also helps students to understand the importance when they are told

stories of how computers have evolved and how MIS and Decision Support Systems (discussed

in a late chapter) have made management decision-making easier and more reliable.

To support your class discussions and examples through the course, I try to bring in examples

from the local area. Most communities around college and university campuses have businesses

or government agencies that operate data centers. Many times, students are unaware that they are

there. In most cases, the local Chamber of Commerce or, if your school has one, a group of local

business leaders you periodically meet with your dean might in you find these sites.

You might also consider supporting your class discussions on the importance of computer

technology using examples of how companies have moved to email to save money over using

snail mail (postal service). Students can be introduced to the concept that IT must be paired with

business processes to harness IT’s potential.

IT is important to business leaders all over the world. There are salary statistics for all majors

(you can get this information from USA Today’s website www.usatoday.com), Payscale.com

(www.payscale.com) or Salary.com (www.Salary.com). Historically, there are always a few IT-

related jobs in the top 10 highest paying jobs for college grades. This usually gets some students’

attention, especially if they realize that if they are more technology savvy they will tend to make

more money.

Finally, have your students look at the local Help Wanted ads to see how many job postings for

what might be considered non-technical jobs require some IT knowledge.

Most colleges and universities have design requirements on the structure of online courses and

what should be included in the campus’ Course Management System where the class is online or

as a supplement to an in-class lecture-based class. So what I am including here in this section for

this and the rest of the chapter Instructor Guides is based on what I have learned from nearly

fifteen-years teaching this class, and almost ten-years teaching it online.

I usually start the term with an online discussion question asking the students about their majors,

what they think their technical knowledge is (this can sometimes be surprising because they

usually over over- estimate what they really know), and if they any fears about technology. For

this exercise, I usually do not permit others in the class to comment on another student’s

response. I use this mainly to gage the knowledge and background of the class.

I always record a short video for each chapter for my online classes. I have found that if I record

a complete lecture, most students do not watch it. So I do a ten to fifteen minute chapter

overview video.

If you are teaching an online class or are looking for a short video for a lecture class, I can

usually find topic relevant videos at http://youtube.com. The problem is that sometimes they are

product demos or sales videos, but they still usually present relevant information or concepts.

1. Describe how information technology is essential to the companies’ operations.
