OBJECTIVES |
||||||||
|
This module aims to better
understand the economics of Information Systems by identifying the various
types of expenses and earnings, by analyzing the means of calculating
profitability and clarifying the concept of value at this time when
executives and shareholders require value creating projects. It is aimed at
all stakeholders involved in the prescription or in the management of IS
projects. This course is what
underlies the book "Economic view on the
information systems" published by the facilitator in December
2008, at Hermes Science Publishing Ltd. At the end of the training,
each trainee should: ·
have acquired the concepts associated with the
financial structure of the companies and the analysis of corporate
performance, with the profitability of investment projects and with the value
creation; ·
know how to apply these concepts in the context of
an information system project ·
know to identify the sources of spending and gains
in such a project. |
