The Business of Information Technology: An Integrated, Multi-disciplinary Approach to a Capstone Experience for Management Information Sciences Students
This paper describes the development, implementation, and subsequent modifications of a capstone course first developed by Franklin University in 2003. The course is a multi-disciplinary capstone course serving four majors: Finance, MIS, Human Resources, and Marketing. Students engage in a 15 week study, focusing first upon their major, meeting the requirements specific to their program, and second as part of a team consisting of students from each of the majors brought together to deal with a business opportunity. Each team acts as consultants for a company experiencing a variety of business issues in HR, Finance, MIS, and Marketing. The case study is complex, consisting of real-world issues, challenges, and opportunities. The teams develop strategies that directly address the issues and exploiting opportunities, culminating in a professional oral and written presentation.
Keywords: MIS capstone, multidiscipline capstone, joint capstone, capstone
