Abstract

A course on leadership in Information Technology is distinct from a management course. While the latter is focused on implementation, the former focuses on larger organizational issues and the impact and use of IT. Because it supports the understanding of IT and its effective use, the "Organizational Impact of IT" course is appropriate for more than just IT students or professionals. This is a survey of components covered, including strategic use of IT, IT as an integration enabler, the impact of IT on organizational design, processes, work and workers. It also considers IT leadership as an issue in itself.
