Objectives
The course aims to provide advanced training in the field of information systems in both its technological and organizational aspects. From an organizational perspective, the central problem is that of integrating information systems into companies, namely with regard to strategic planning, the importance of efficient management of information systems and technologies, and the reorganization of processes and labour. The synergies generated between the technological component and the area of management is the principle differentiating and motivating factor of this course, which is related to the fact that ISCTE-IUL is a school of reference in organizational mangement. The course is meant mostly for professionals with less than two years of experience in Management and/or Computer Science; therefore, one of the objectives of the course is to encourage dissertations useful to the organizations from which the students come.
In general, the Master has as its principle objective to contribute to the qualifications of Portuguese organizations, namely by solidifying knowledge in the areas of planning, design, and information systems management. The course also conveys more specific information regarding the areas of "Business Intelligence", Data Analysis and Electronic Commerce.
It is intended that the trainees exercise the skills integrated in the various lectured subjects, applying them to solve actual problems. The course's goal is also to promote the use of solid methodologies so that students can autonomously develop rigorous work applied to complex or unusual situations.
The Study Plan in the first year of the course prioritizes the further development of specialized professional skills. The contents of the classes offered are generally supported by case studies that allow students to apply the aquired knowledge (in organizations where they work or in classes) in an integrated manner. The students are placed in new situations and challenged to put forth innovative and informed solutions. The students are also stimulated to present their work to their colleagues in discussion.
The rigor of the solution-design component is reinforced through the class Information Systems Design. The classes Research Methodologies and Seminar in Information Systems Management I and II are intended to provide students with the research skills necessary to prepare their dissertations. Almost all the CUs in the first year have an evaluation method supported by applied work. This work allows instructors to measure in part the extent to which students can apply their acquired knowledge. Yet the true measure of the students' performance comes in the form of the dissertation. Through this task, students show to what degree the couse has granted them advanced education.
