Distinctive Features
Student Perspectives

"High-ranking corporate executives, software vendors, and
consulting firms provide students with a well rounded view of the current
problems companies face selecting, integrating, and leveraging information
technology. In a sense, the course ultimately shows that what is successful
today may only be temporary. However, through lectures and practical
exercises, students leave armed with a framework that allows them to thrive
in a world of temporary advantage and rapid innovation." |

"The Developing the CEO Team's Value Chain Network Strategy
course was the most influential and important class I experienced at LFM. A
confluence of Information Technology, E-Business, and Strategy, the class
provides lessons that will scale throughout a career, yet which I could
immediately apply upon graduation as a Program Manager at Dell Computer
Corporation. Not only was the curriculum extremely relevant, but the
professor and his team brought a level of professionalism to the class that I
found quite refreshing." |
