摘要：Students majoring in the College of Business at this University are required to take a course in
information systems fundamentals as part of their business core. While it is easy for a faculty
member to cover the necessary topics, it has been this instructor¡¯s experience that it is considerably
difficult for students to see the importance and relevance of a study of information systems
for success in a business career.
A class exercise has been developed and used successfully to provide students with a better understanding
of the importance and relevance of a study of information systems. Students get a
good understanding of the need for study of applications of information technology in improving
business operations and solving business problems. The class exercise appears to be quite effective
in helping students gain a higher level of interest in the study of information systems. Student
evaluations suggest that the instructor was successful in stimulating a higher level of interest in
the course.
