Course objectives
This course builds on the knowledge about ERPs (course from previous semester BPH_PIS1 Podnikové informační systémy) and develops further the knowledge in the general context of business informatics and not only its particular parts (e.g. ERP systems). The goal of this course is to offer the students more detailed knowledge of information technologies that are used in companies and more managerial topics from the business informatics discipline. This course allows students to orient themselves in the discipline and helps them to choose appropriate specialized courses that will match their professional development. The course projects help the students in the next semester with the formulation of the topic for the final thesis.

Teaching methods
This course employs the concept of the flipped classroom. The first class for the topic is a seminar for which students need to prepare by writing an argumentative essay. Seminars heavily rely on discussions and various activities. The second class for the topic is a discussion about the learned concepts with experts. Self-reflection and related formative assessment are important parts of the teaching. The course is concluded with a combination of an essay, a team project, and an oral exam.
Assessment methods
Mid-term test, end-term essay
Active seminar participation and seminar preparation
Team project + project defense
self-reflection of learning

This course cannot be passed during study exchange online because an inherent part of assessment is seminar work, discussion with experts, and a team project.
