This course introduces students to computers in a business context. As a manager, the student needs a basic understanding of the use of the computer as a tool in solving operational and managerial problems. While productivity tools and microcomputers are used, the emphasis is on users of computers rather than development of computer specialists. Topics include: the management of computer resources, fundamentals of computers, including the hardware and software available to computer users; word processing and management information systems; and common and specialized computer applications in business.
