Management Information Systems (MIS) provides comprehensive and integrative coverage of essential new technologies, information system applications, and their impact on business models and managerial decision making in an interactive manner. This course is designed to cultivate a deeper understanding of information systems and emerging technologies for business model innovation and information technology (IT) entrepreneurship.

Video style: Any creative formats with introduction on your proposed systems.
It could be a promo-style video, but please remember to describe in detail on your need analysis and system design. If possible, you are extremely encouraged to show up in the video.
Between-group peer evaluation (Bonus points available): After the deadline for presentation video, all the groups will need to conduct between-group peer evaluation. The groups will need to provide comments, suggestions, and ranking for all the other presentations in a survey. We will not let groups know who leaves the comments, so please be free to write anything that might be helpful or critical to your peer groups. Bonus point(s) will be offered to the groups who provide excellent comments and who get the highest votes from your peer groups. (It is okay to write your comments in either Traditional Chinese or English, but English is preferred if you are giving comments to some groups with English-speaking members.) Please upload the evaluation file you have filled up by 11:59:59 pm on Dec 20, 2025 (Taipei Time).
Homework assignments (Bonus points available): You may be assigned take-home group assignments in certain classes. Students in the same group will receive the same grade. (Students SHOULD participate in the group work to receive the grade.)
Class Participation (10%): It involves attendance and class participation. The instructor may call on individual students during the class, and their inability to respond with a reasonable answer will adversely affect their class participation grade. For each class, students will be graded on a 0-2 scale: 0 for absence, 1 for presence without constructive participation, and 2 for constructive participation. Pop quizzes or random calls may be conducted to support the class participation.
In-Group Peer Evaluation (Bonus or Minus points available): You will need to provide your job distribution, comments, appraisal, or complaints to your group members, and suggestions to our course in a survey. We will not let other people know who leaves the comments, so please be open and honest to provide your opinions. Points will be cut from your total final score up to 60 points if you have been complaint by your partners with credible specific reasons. Bonus point(s) may be offered to the member(s) who receive outstanding appraisals. Otherwise, all your group members will receive the same grade for the group work. (It is okay to write your comments in either Traditional Chinese or English.) Please upload the evaluation file you have filled up by 11:59:59 pm on Dec 20, 2025 (Taipei Time).
