 So my name is Amit Basu. I am a professor and chairman of the Department of Information Technology and Operations Management at the Cox School of Business at SMU. So over the past few decades there's been a steady move towards increased digitization in most companies, key processes, and as a result the role of software and systems and networks is becoming ever increasing in organizations. In order to understand how to manage these companies and how to lead them forward it's vital for managers and budding executives to understand the impact of technology on their business. And we feel that that is a core element of our value proposition at the school. So we think that as we help our students to become more effective both users, consumers, and managers of these technologies we will place them, we will put them in a better situation to tap into and exploit the evolving work environment and the market. We also feel that and we are convinced that a very important effect of not only computerization of companies but also the whole evolution of various technologies such as the internet, social media, mobile computing, big data, the cloud computing, and AI is this vast explosion in the amount of data available. And as a result it creates huge opportunities for companies to become much more data driven and analytical in how they approach key decisions. And as a result we have taken a lot of steps to position our programs so that we will have, we will be producing students who think algorithmically, who think in terms of how to be competitively ahead of their peers and their competitors by being savvy users of information systems, data, and analytics.
