Learning outcomes

- Understand what a Management Information System (MIS) is and its importance within an organization. 

- Know and apply different MIS modeling techniques and be able to apply them appropriately to MIS modeling.

- Understand the challenges of implementing MIS and apply established MIS management theories to manage them.

Content

The course is structured in three complementary parts. The first part introduces the fundamental concepts of Management Information Systems (MIS) and initiates students into data and process modeling, with a particular focus on the use of UML and BPMN languages, which are explored in depth in practical exercises. The second part explores the practical implementation of MIS through the main theories in the field, the organizational challenges associated with their deployment, and a professional presentation focused on Odoo, a widely used type of MIS. Finally, the third part, entitled HackaSIG, encourages students to be creative by asking them to apply theoretical concepts in a fun and critical way through fiction.

Table of contents

Part 1 – Modeling Management Information Systems

-      Introduction to Management Information Systems

-      Data Modeling

-      Process Modeling


Part 2 – Implementing Management Information Systems

-      Key Theories of Management Information Systems

-      Challenges of Implementing Management Information Systems

-      Odoo Intervention


Part 3 – HackaSIG

- Understanding & Applying Key Theories through Fiction


Practical Sessions: Practical Sessions focuses on the modeling aspects of Part 1 to perfect mastery of UML and BPMN.

Teaching methods

The teaching method is based on alternating between theoretical lectures by the professor and practical work sessions during which students put the concepts they have learned into practice. Sample exercises are presented and solved during the theoretical lectures. These prepare students for the exercises they will have to complete during the practical sessions. In addition, students will be encouraged, in line with the STEAM approach, to use fiction to understand and apply key concepts covered in the course.

Assessment method

Group work (demonstration of mastery of a key theory through fiction) is part of the final grade in addition to the written exam (25%).


The written exam consists of a more theoretical part and an exercise part focused on modeling (75%).
