Legal and policy concerns are inherent aspects of IT management. The terms and conditions under which IT products and services are provided, as well as the security, disposition, and appropriate use of systems and information each require IT managers to consider the legal context for IT as a matter of routine. As IT has become critical to the global economy, there is ongoing need, in both the private and public sectors, for qualified information technology managers who can perceive and, with counsel, respond to the legal and regulatory environment for IT worldwide.
This program provides a perspective on that environment and the best management practices in responding to it. As such, it will be of widespread interest to IT practicioners and vendors, especially service providers, managers of IT ventures, senior managers with responsibility for implementing IT solutions enterprise wide, compliance and security officers, and IT consultants.
Note: The cadre of students for this program includes compliance officers and IT managers responsible for solutions bearing on compliance with regulatory requirements and discovery requests. These students are not served by the present MIS curriculum, and represent a new market.
The Legal Issues in IT program provides students with competitive advantage by giving them the tools to recognize legally significant developments and to manage, with counsel, the process of responding appropriately to those developments.
