 Now, let's talk about what you can expect from the first unit of Business 206. Unit 1 will introduce you to the concepts of MIS and the impact it has on business organizations. It's a common misconception most people believe that information systems include all of the technologies that compose a network. However, technology is only one small part of what an information system really is. Small components of an MIS play a major role in an organization. Technology, people, and process are the three high-level components that make up a management information system. You will spend time learning about the details of each of these components as you move through the course. Key concepts to watch out for in the first unit include the definition of the major components of a management information system, the basic history of information systems, and what innovation is and how technology contributes to it. As you work your way through these units, don't forget to take notes. It's going to be a very important part of your review before the final exam. Don't miss an opportunity to visit the discussion forums when prompted. Post your own response and read responses from other students that will help to enhance your understanding of the material. The units of this course build upon each other. You will learn more about the technologies, people, and processes as you progress through this course. Good luck and we'll see you here at the beginning of Unit 2.
