This specialization provides a robust introduction to the key principles and practices of Information Systems Management. The first course describes how Information Systems address business problems. This takes the form of an IT alignment model that describes how Information Systems provide capabilities that enable or support organizational strategy. This component also includes an economic analysis of the Information System. The second course in the specialization entails the practice of modeling information systems. The goal of this course is to describe the Information System defined in the first course, so that the Information System can be developed. The third course provides an overview of the capabilities of modern enterprise systems. The goal of this course is to understand the capabilities of enterprise systems, so that the firm can decide if the requirement identified in the second course can be met by an enterprise system. Managerial aspects related to the selection and implementation of enterprise systems will also be discussed. The fourth course in the specialization describes the IT infrastructure choices available to a modern enterprise and the tradeoffs associated with each alternative. Any large Information System implementation is a significant organizational change initiative that requires careful stewardship. All the courses will deal with the issue of change management and discuss strategies and approaches for achieving a successful implementation.

I am very unhappy with this course. Students have questions and they are not being answered. Capstone project details laid out by the professor is vague. I will not be taking anymore courses from University of Minnesota.
The English accent is poor. I think it was better to pick a better person for this course
Good start for beginners!
After this course, I got so much information and knowledge about IT Governance and how to implement it for my organization.
Its being great learning a new course. Thanks Coursera for this wonderful oppurtunity..
really its very helpful for those who looking the IT manager post
Very complete, excellent but not simple experience. For those who do not come from management or business, you must take into account the time and effort you will have to put in.
Wholistic and comprehensive curriculum,
Superb presentation by Prof. Gautam Ray, Progressive and interesting to follow.
Thanks to UoM and Coursera
The course contains so much information that'll help you understand IT management better. I highly recommend it for people in the IT sphere
There is a great lack of direction regarding the Project Assignment
just ms powerpoint
The course informative. I had the notion that it is just an online course and how hard can it be. I was blown away with the amount of information it contained, the delivery of the information and the ease of understanding. I recommend the course for everyone in IT.
Honestly, this is a real experinence and Im happy to be here. The time spend sure worth it because of the impact and knowledge gain.
Thanks Coursera
honestly I didnt learn too much . it wasnt clear . it was repetitive . learning from instructor himself without sub was so hard I couldnt understand his accent . then I should have looked to sub and missed my focusness. I wont take any courses with him
I really tried to push through, but the nervousness (constant moving) and the tone of presenting was getting me tot a point to were got very frustrated. Also, those calculating methods are way to theoretical for my taste and is in my opinion useless.
This course is excellent. Professor Ray is very detailed and explains things clearly - I really enjoyed learning from him. For my career, this is exactly what I was looking for; this will be very helpful in my work.
Well tailored presentations, expository yet relatable examples and references, engaging instructor and insightful topics. I am absolutely happy I took this course.
Since I had an economic background this course could provide me thinking on as like IT man and also it proved a wide range of IT solution ideas.
Thank you Sir Gautam Ray . Truly an expert about this field, and has a great teaching skills, very organized.
very Nice course for understanding IS & IT Governance especially in Institutions with IT as Core business...
thank you university of minnesota, these IS/IT Governance course is one of the best IT course i ever learn.
