- catalog abstract "During the last decade, business organizations have used information technology (IT) to transform their processes through formation of value-added partnerships. As in the industrial sector, pressure to transform management education increases. This paper describes a case study of the design and delivery of an MBA-level information systems course for students and instructors from two universities. Advanced information technology - wide-area videoconferencing, high-speed links to shared databases and file servers, and an electronic group support system (GSS) - enabled the transformation. Information technology is used to enable collaborative learning and teaching with transcontinental student teams, multiple instructors, and integration of external expertise. The IT-enabled value-added partnership such as the one in this study enriches the student learning experience and expedites faculty and institutional development. Our prediction is that transformation of the type reported here will increase in order to add more educational value at lower overall cost as schools of management and, in general, institutions of higher learning seek to adapt more rapidly to changes in our increasingly complex and dynamic world. The innovation reported in this paper is course-content independent and applicable to teaching a wide variety of management courses.".
