Course contents :
|
| This course proposes an overview and an application of the main principles and the most usual techniques used to model how an organization is performing, independently from its form, and to build up an adequate Information System, allowing to guarantee its performance in a short-, middle- or long-term perspective.
It focuses on the one hand on the modelling techniques used to represent an organisation and on the other hand on the elaboration and the audit of a performing Information System really adapted to the design of the organization.
It is composed by 3 different complementary modules :
- The first one is dedicated to the use of the "Value Chain Model" to model an organization. A special focus is made on the interactions between the organization and its main clients, suppliers and controllers.
-The second one is dedicated to the techniques used to model corporate information flows (either organizational, commercial, financial or strategic). A focus is put on the practical use of the "Signalling Approach" (an efficient information or signal is meaningful, credible, true and can not be manipulated).
- The third one is at least dedicated to the audit and control of this information system. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| See above. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| - Management Control (Systems) |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Students are grouped in teams of 5 people as a maximum and apply the 3 main tools and techniques discussed during the course, i.e.
- the elaboration of the "Value Chain" in an organization, including its links with its main customers, suppliers and controllers
- a model depicting the main information flows that are characterizing this organization
- a simple audit of its Information System.
They apply these tools in a company or an organization employing between 20 and 100 people, that they select by their own way. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course is organized in 10 sessions of 3 hours , structured in 5 modules of 2 sessions.
The first of these 2 sessions is organized as a theoretical course during which the why and the hows of each of the different tools and techniques are discussed.
The second of these 2 sessions is then dedicated to a debriefing and a discussion with each group as for the evolution of its own case study.
It starts on Friday, February 10, 2012, from 13.00 to 16.00 |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| - Continuous valuation of the continuous work of each group : 1/3
- Public defense of the results obtained via the application of the 3 tools discussed during the course : 2/3 |
