I have learned the fundamental of research method in IS362. In this class, I learned the concept of social science research method beyond to IS360. The background of IS360 helps me to better understanding of IS362. I gained knowledge of how to conduct and analyze the research and articles; decide what claim, reason, evidence, warrant, and limitation of the articles are. I further discuss with lovely classmates and examine what is good and what should be improved in each article. We spend two weeks for each article, therefore we have time to examine in detail and get the idea in the same direction.

Also, I consider that the textbook of this class is easy to read and understand. There are a lot of examples which assist readers to comprehend the concept of each chapter. Moreover, it is necessary to study in class in order to share and review each chapter and articles with Professor and classmates. I couldn’t learn that much if I just read the textbook and articles by myself. Learning by sharing knowledge and experiences give advantages to me both better understanding and closer to my classmates. Thanks Professor Ryan and all classmates that made me enjoy studying this class.  

I have learned the fundamental of business models including IT impact on business and organizations in IS329. In this class, I learned the concept of corporate information strategy and IT in business beyond to IS328. The background of IS328 helps me to better understanding of IS329 especially Porter’s five competitive forces model and CIO’s role. I gained knowledge of how to leverage IT in business to gain the most competitive advantages. Furthermore, I have studied strategic plan to cope with problems by learning from case studies. The assignments that we have to post our opinions for each case are very benefit for me. I can learn and share my opinion with others. Sometimes, learning from each other can expand skills for analyzing the cases.

There are lots of discussions in this class which help me prepare for the talk and obtain several ideas. In addition, I know how to write the business plan by doing term project with my team, 5 members. Although we separate each part for each member, we still argue and discuss the whole project together. In this project, our group chose to do the business plan of Green IT business. I have learned how to work with team and time management. Thanks all my group members; Yoonmi, Natdanai, Kuo-Lun, and Dolly for your best effort to this project. Also, special thanks to Dr. Clark for your teaching in this class.

Also, the different between fixed and flexible research designs including research methods gave me the idea when I have to design research project by myself.

The concept of “Enterprise Architecture” is basement of IT management in organization. Leaders and employees have to understand their roles and try to use the right strategies in the right time to gain the most competitive advantages. In addition, the concept of “Project Management” and “CIO Leader” are also support achievement in business. Successful CIO has to lead their company, make a right decision, and utilize their resources wisely. Sometimes outsourcing is useful for the firm but we have to concern with what and when we should do outsource in both onshore and offshore.

Strategic planning and critical success factors are shown in the cases and valuable books we read. Each assignment gives me how to bring theory to practice in real case. To answer the questions, I not only answer the questions from books and articles but I also add some experiences related to questions to explain the details and show some examples. This course guided me to seek more knowledge in real world by reading and presenting book review. My group picked up the book “The New School of Information Security”. This book is useful for IT manager to rethink about the information security in their business. It’s good to criticize IT security and recommend what should be aware in information security.

Thanks again my group, for your contribution in book review and case study (Charles Schwab): Igho, Kuo-lun Tang, and Tom.
