PhDs in Information Systems. The department of Management Information Systems in the faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Kadir Has University is now offering Turkey’s second PhD program in Management Information Systems starting in Fall 2014. The program is the first of its kind that is offered by an engineering college rather than a business one. Why MIS? “Let us consider a couple of recently established IT based companies worldwide for a moment: Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, YouTube, Twitter, Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, FourSquare, Alibaba, …”. The market value of each of these companies is measured in terms of billions of USD. Is this a coincidence or is it the new way of business? We believe that the answer is the later. As we progress within the new technological era, many things regarding our lives will dramatically change whether we like it or not. Some of these changes are: the way of doing business, social life, entertainment, communication, commercialization, medicine, drug design, education, customer relations, resource planning, logistics, etc. Thus, “if you are the one who is interested in Information Technology (IT) and its application in organizations and have an interest in conducting research, performing excellent teaching, and in helping to invent a future centered on the application of IT”, then you have a common passion with us. Just drop by and let us have a talk. This may be the first step toward an exciting and promising career for you! What is Management Information Systems? The MIS faculty teaches and... [-]

PhDs in Information Systems. Information technology (IT) is a strategic asset that is being used to mould competitive strategies and change organisational processes. As IT and its uses become more complex, developing strategies and systems to deliver the technology has become more difficult. The net result is a growing need for guidance on the issues, strategies, and tactics for managing the use of information technology. This unit is designed to cover various issues, strategies and tactics and to enable students to integrate concepts and theories learned during previous study or in their careers to date. This unit provides an overview of the responses required by organisations to manage the transition to an e-commerce/e-business environment supported by new technology. It will help to develop a critical understanding of the problems and opportunities faced by organisations in effectively planning, developing and managing information systems (IS). It incorporates strategic management concepts to ensure that IS development supports the business strategy, and progresses through suitable planning methodologies to implementation and evaluation (audit).
