Welcome to Week Nine
Systems Management (BUS302)
Weekly Content - Systems Management
This week we'll be switching from management as a human-centered activity to management from an operational perspective. Specifically, we'll be looking at managing systems including technology.
Class Notes - Presentation Assignment
Next week, you'll be turning in a presentation, including audio, that summarizes the paper that you submitted last week. If you haven't turned the written assignment in yet the I strongly suggest that you do so before starting on the presentation. That will give you the opportunity to make revisions based on my feedback before assembling your final presentation
Technical Issues
If you're having technical issues with accessing Blackboard or Aleks, you should contact the Strayer University help desk at 877.642.2999. If you're having issues once you're in Blackboard, e.g. uploading files, downloading files or viewing the grade book, you should contact the Blackboard help desk at 1.866.350.9427. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about the course's content but faculty don't have the training or access to do any kind of tech support.
