1.课程概述
《******》是技术经济与管理硕士专业的一门核心课程，通过本课程的学习，学生可以获得对现代信息管理以及信息系统的整体性认识，培养将来从事信息系统相关工作所需的能力和素质。

自20世纪70年代以来，特别是进入21世纪以后，信息技术和信息系统在全球范围内得到了蓬勃的发展和广泛的应用，经济的全球化与信息技术的进步共同营造了一个崭新的商务环境。

信息技术在人类经济、社会、生活中的全面渗透，对于企业的经营活动、社会组织的运行方式以及人们自身的行为习惯，都产生了深刻而长远的影响。

现代计算机和通讯技术已经紧密地融入了商务和生活之中，成为其不可分割的一部分，在商务和生活环境的方方面面都可以看到信息技术的痕迹。

信息技术的这种融合趋势已经被人们所广泛接受并且习以为常，而在这种趋势下所产生的经营机遇和管理挑战，已经日益地引起了研究者与实践者的普遍关注与重视。

不断推陈出新的信息技术及其与经营活动日益密切的相互渗透与融合，构成了“信息时代”和“信息社会”的主要特征。

在这样的变革之中，管理者肩负着双重的使命。

一方面，技术的快速更迭、社经济结构的不断演变、竞争节奏的加快，要求管理者以开放、动态的思维适应并把握环境的变迁，在发展与变化之中以敏锐的洞察力以及对信息技术和信息系统的深入理解，捕捉那些有助于建立并保持战略竞争优势的经营机遇。

另一方面，信息技术与业务运行和管理行为之间的紧密融合，也使得信息系统自身的建设与管理成为一项具有高度复杂性，并且高度依赖于管理艺术和管理科学的工作。

从而，当代组织中的信息系统管理者，不但需要具有对技术和系统本身的了解和认识，还应当具有对组织中的各种资源和人的行为进行协调、统筹的能力。

2.课程目标
通过本课程的学习，使学生认识到信息对社会发展、组织管理以及个人生活中的重要性；掌握管理信息系统的基本概念、结构和功能，利用计算机知识为实际问题建立管理信息系统的基本思想和基本方法；了解管理信息系统的开发工具和开发方法，熟悉管理信息系统软件开发过程，最终掌握管理信息系统的操作与运用；深入了解一些重要的企业管理信息系统，如MRP、MRPII、ERP、CRM、DSS等，熟知这些系统的主要功能、模块；详细介绍目前主流的IT技术及其在MIS中的作用；介绍未来10年IT技术的发展方向和对MIS可能带来的影响；培养学生观察问题、分析问题、解决问题和实际动手能力。

通过本课程的学习，增强学生的全局意识、团队意识和市场意识，并注意专业素养的不断提高。

3.授课方式
本课程将课堂讲授、案例讨论、实验练习相结合，充分利用现代化的教学手段，提升教学效率和效果。

同时，适当邀请IT领域资深的企业管理者和信息系统开发者来到课堂与研究生互动，加深学生对MIS的认识。

为顺应我校国际化人才培养的要求，同时兼顾学生的英语水平，本课程采用半英文授课，即在理论部分采用英文教材，在案例分析及实验联系部分采用中文资料，授课语言为中文。

在授课中，强调课堂上的互动交流，鼓励学生积极提问并参与讨论。

课堂上所介绍的管理信息系统可能会有局限性，所以要求学生注重对基本管理思想和原理的理
解；同时，在课堂和课外，将提供大量的管理信息系统案例供学生阅读，加深学生对理论知识的理解。

在每一章的开头和结尾，都会通过案例来引导知识和总结理论内容，课堂上采用案例讨论的教学方式，鼓励学生通过小组协作的方式从案例中提炼并解决问题，以增进学生对相关知识点的深入理解。

课程中安排了适当的实验练习，由授课老师指定一些真实或模拟的企业业务系统，让学生结合课堂所学知识，对这些系统进行调研、分析和设计。

同时，充分利用我院的ERP实验室等资源，为学生提供接触、操作并理解大型IS的机会。

在课程最后环节，会提供沙盘模拟训练，将课堂所学知识通过沙盘模拟操作的方式进行实践，进一步加深学生对企业运作模式和运作过程的理解。

课程中将适当邀请业界人士到课上作报告并与同学交流互动，拉近了学生与产业的距离，增进学生对课堂讲授知识的理解。

COURSE DESCRIPTION
"Management Information System" is a core course of technical economy and management. The students can get the whole understanding of modern information management and information system through the study of this course.
Since 1970s, especially in twenty-first Century, information technology and information systems have been developed rapidly and widely used in the world. The globalization of economy and information technology has created a new business environment. Information Technology has penetrated into the economy, society and the life of human being. Information technology has a profound and long-term impact on business activities, social organization of the operations mode and people's own behavior. Modern computer and communication technology has been closely integrated into the business and life, and become an inseparable part of the business and living environment in all aspects of information technology. This trend of integration of information technology has been widely accepted by people, but in this trend, the business opportunities and management challenges have increasingly attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners. The new information technology and it’s increasingly close integration with the business activities constitute the main features of the information age and information society. In such a revolution, the manager has a dual mission. On one hand, the rapid change of technology, the continuous evolution of social economic structure, the acceleration of the competition rhythm, requires the management to adapt to the environment, and to understand the development and change of information technology and information system, which is helpful to establish and maintain strategic competitive advantage. On the other hand, the close integration between information technology and business operation and management, also makes the construction and management of information system become a highly complex, and highly dependent on the management of art and scientific work. Thus, the information system management in the modern organization not only needs to have the understanding of the technology and the system itself,
but also has the ability to coordinate and coordinate all kinds of resources and human behavior in the organization.
COURSE PURPOSE & OBJECTIVES
Through the study of this course, the students can understand the importance of information to social development, organization management and personal life, grasp the basic concepts, structure and function of Management Information System, use computer knowledge to establish Management Information System, such as MRP、MRPII、ERP、CRM、DSS et.al, familiar with the functions and models of these systems. This course introduces the current mainstream IT technology and its role in MIS, introduces the development directions of IT technology in the next 10 years and their influence on MIS. Train the students' observation, analysis, problem solving and practical abilities. Through the course of study, enhance the students' global consciousness, team consciousness and market consciousness, and pay attention to the continuous improvement of professional quality.
TEACHING APPROACH/ INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS
This course will be a combination of classroom teaching, case studies, experimental exercises, and full use of modern teaching methods to improve teaching efficiency and effectiveness. At the same time, the appropriate invitation to the field of IT senior business managers and information system developers will come to the classroom and interact with graduate students, to deepen students' understanding of MIS.
In order to meet the requirements of international talent training in our university, we take into account the students' English level, this course is taught half in English.
In the course of teaching, we emphasis on the interaction in classroom, encourage students to actively ask questions and participate in the discussion. The Management Information System introduced in the classroom may have limitations, so the students are required to pay attention to the understand basic management theory and principle; at the same time, both in the classroom and outside, we will provide a large number of Management Information System cases for students to read, deepen students understanding of theoretical knowledge. At the beginning and ending of each chapter, cases are used as the lead and summary of theory. Many cases will be discussed in class. We encourage students to refine and solve problems in the case of a group collaboration to enhance students' understanding of the relevant knowledge.
Appropriate experimental practice has been arranged in the course. The instructor gives some real or simulated business systems, the students do research, analysis and design work of these systems. At the same time, we will make full use of the ERP Lab and other resources, to provide students with the opportunities to access to the operation and understanding of large IS. In the last part of the course, we will provide a sandbox simulation training, Through which, we practice the knowledge learned in the classroom, give the students a deeper understanding of the enterprise operation mode and operation process.
We will invite some IT managers and engineers to make reports and interact with the students, to narrow the distance between the students and IT industry, to enhance students' understanding of the knowledge which is taught in classroom.

A 1st Semester “Foundational Course” Syllabus
for the SISU China Studies Master’s Degree
（内容不做更新，仅为形式样例）
A course co-taught by the Faculty team of
Steve J. Kulich, the SISU Intercultural Institute (SII)
Jiang Fan, the SISU Graduate Institute for Interpretation and Translation (GIIT)
Danny Hsu, Dalian University of Foreign Languages (DUFL)
Brief Course Introduction
(Concise 100-word summary included in the SISU China Studies Curriculum Brochure):
This course provides a broad survey of China Studies for personal interest and later research, including a review of Chinese history, thinking, literature and culture, and how issues facing China today are linked to its past or are related to its strengthened ties and growing stature in the global community. Lectures and discussions help students not only to develop their appreciation of the basic elements of Chinese culture, but also to investigate the formation of English discourse systems about China, rethink contemporary understandings of “Chinese characteristics,” and utilize participants’ study abroad experience to consider local, national, and global perspectives on China.
Detailed Course Description
Students arriving new in China and beginning their study of this great civilization and country need to know and understand its origins, long history, ways of thinking, relating, or doing, and processes of developing. This is especially important as a foundation for each student majoring in China. To make sense of the dramatic changes and transitions occurring in China’s recent trajectory, it is helpful to understand the roots of Chinese culture, literature, philosophy, government, economy, and corresponding psychological or social orientations of its populace. This course aims to provide a general overview of the some of the main topics typically covered
in Area Studies programs that focus on China toward exposing participants to the wide range of potential areas for future research or personal interest and applications.
At one level, this course provides an introduction to China through some of the primary texts in English translation that have been influential both to Chinese as well as Western perceptions of China. Thus the first half of the course will stimulate students to investigate how English discourse systems about China have been formed as well as to rethink contemporary understandings of “Chinese characteristics” based on what they are experiencing an d observing through this study abroad experience. As one of the “foundational basic” courses in this SISU MA curriculum, the instructors hope this instills an interest in and understanding of Chinese culture while at the same time providing a general landscape of China Studies topics related to this program (student’s academic work often grows out of personal interests, exposure and engagement with original Chinese texts and experiences).
The latter half of the course will then explore in what ways the issues facing China today are linked to its past or are related to its strengthened ties and growing stature the larger global community. Students will be encouraged to reconsider local, national, and global perspectives on China, both regarding what is happening in the country currently and how it is being portrayed in international media. This approach will hopefully yield a more nuanced understanding of China by exploring ways in which this country looks the same or different by shifting perspectives.
This course is inter-disciplinary in nature and will combine lectures, discussions, as well as some fieldwork. Each week, the teaching team will provide necessary background information and guide discussions that pay particular attention to understanding past issues and their current context. And the course will require students to engage the local culture – participants will be encouraged to take advantage of being in China to explore the city of Shanghai and consider its unique role in China’s history, d evelopment, and future, make contact and discuss ideas with local graduate students, and seek to build relationships with locals toward understanding their perspectives.
Course requirements:
1)Attendance and Participation (30%).
Each Faculty member assesses a participation score of 10%.
2)Presentations (10%)

“Orienting” Yourself for Processing the Course (ideas for your reflection papers): Here are some questions to guide your reading and serve as springboards for discussion:
How does each perspective yield a different—or perhaps same, in some cases—view of China? What do these differences/similarities reveal ab out China’s history, its situation or its current state? In particular, reflect carefully about the global perspective/role of China in comparison with the local and national (and often more historically situated) perspectives. How
has this aspect of China’s background, or developments now within China in this area affecting the world, and especially important, the global perception of China? How can we synthesize the various perspectives into a new, more nuanced, picture and understanding of China?

FIELD TRIP: “China and Me Fieldwork” (arranged between Dec 19, 2014 to Jan 8, 2015) Students will be invited to the Songjiang campus for an introduction to the branch campus and be provided with an overview of SISU’s MA teaching programs there, and particularly be invited as “guest interactants” in an intercultural communication course (most likely to the interactive “Interview discourse analysis workshop” of the “Intercultural Communication Competence: Theory and Practi ce” since students of that course have had assignments to ethnographically interview several people from “other cultures,” draft their summary scripts, and try to make sense of the contents together). Each student will introduce themselves and their China-related backgrounds, then summarize some of their own observations
on “China and Me” from the contents of this course. Then in small groups, they will explore these ideas further from the vantage point of our local MA students. Prof. Kulich will then organize a lunch forum with other international students enrolled on the Songjiang campus to help them compare experiences and build bridges for future cross-SISU communication. WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS(listed by Due dates. Explained with detailed requirements) (1) For Dr. Danny Hsu: The “Modern China” contrastive assignment. (Due Dec 12, 2014)
In our pluralistic world, we often encounter a dizzying range of perspectives and interpretations. Thus for example, when it comes to China, we often find that different sources present China in different ways.
For the final assignment, explore how some of the issues we have discussed in this course module are covered by Chinese and foreign media. For the China side, you can choose China Daily and/or Global Times (in particular, the editorial). For the foreign perspective, you can choose a range of sources, from financial times to BBC, or whatever news outlet you are accustomed to reading.
Choose one topic/theme covered in this module and then select 1-2 articles from China and foreign perspectives. How do these different sources cover your chosen topic? What are the differences? Is there consensus on some points?
Most importantly, how does this course module help you to have a more complex and nuanced understanding of China? Does your understanding of China now help you to see a more complex picture that you might not have seen from the news sources before taking this course? How has is course helped you to see how news media coverage (both Chinese and foreign) skews, simplifies, or perhaps even does a good job of presenting the issues we've looked at?
Often, the news articles you read will be about very recent developments that we did not directly cover in class. But how does the framework and analysis offered in this module help you to make sense of these news stories? How does your knowledge now help you to raise further questions from these news articles?
The goal of the final assignment is for you to engage in a dialogue with the news articles you have chosen. In other words, think of our course module as having provided you several tools. Now apply these tools to grappling with your selected news articles. I want to see this grappling process on paper.
REQUIREMENTS: 5-7 pages (No title page). Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double space. Please send to: hsudanny@
(2) For Dr. Steve Kulich: “China and Me”segment assessment assignment. (Due Jan 10, 2015)
Having completed the course, and especially the segments that dealt with the psychology, communication styles, and situations/orientations of various groups of “today’s Chinese,” please write a reflective paper summarizing your observations and reflections under the theme “The X Chinese and Me” (business people, diplomats, educators, translators/linguists, Post-90s students, etc.). This subjective description paper should have three sections: your description of (1) Who they are, (2) Who you are in relation to them, and (3) What you anticipate to be challenging and How you expect to deal with those challenges. Specifically:
(1) Describe the group of Chinese you expect you will be dealing or working with… what are your ethnographic and post-course observations of WHO THEY ARE: What do you think defines their identities, values, goals, communication styles, practices? Summarize any special features of how they see themselves and how they function in social relations.
(2) Describe WHO YOU ARE in relation to them… explore any contrasts or comparisons of how you now see yourself in relation to your Chinese counterpart group, noting any areas of expected differences, any potential similarities or bridge-building opportunities, and then,
(3) Note and analyze the types of cultural or personal challenges you have been facing, how this course or other inputsmight have made you aware of some changes you might need to consider to better deal with misunderstandings, conflicts, or expected difficulties in relating more effectively or meaningfully with this group of Chinese people. Close with how do you see yourself relating to this group in the future and what your prospects are for positive interaction.
About 2 pages are recommended for your reflective description of each section.
REQUIREMENTS: 4-6 pages (No title page). Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double space. Please send to: steve.kulich@ (and for back-up send a copy to kulich@)
(3) For Dr. Jiang Fan: “Chinese Origins, Thought, Writings” assignment. (Due Feb 28, 2015)
This summary paper should compare one topic related to Chinese culture with the student’s native culture (comparative reflections). The student may choose any one of the following topics: mythology/ early philosophy/ origin of literature, and try to generalize his or her observations and reflections as well as illustrate each point with one example.
REQUIREMENTS: 800-1000 words (No title page). Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double space.
Send the paper to: cherryjiang75@
(4) Selected Topic PowerPoint Presentations(to be submitted to Dr. Jiang by Jan 15, 2015): From the weekly assigned readings, each student selects one topic and prepares a PowerPoint (minimum 10 .ppt slides). All .ppts are to be submitted to Dr. Jiang and will be evaluated on the following basis: (a) Does the presentation demonstrate an accurate understanding (i.e. through the type of questions asked of locals, sites visited, observations made) of the main issues under discussion?
(b) Has there been any effort to include critical reflection or any application of these issues?
