Title
Innovating Communication Skills into MIS Curriculum: Parallel Processing
Abstract
The AACSB did a survey of the most successful graduates of top MBA programs asking them to reflect upon their careers and determine the most important skill leading to their success. The answer? Communication skills. Yet what is the single biggest complaint about IT professionals? People skills. But how can we make time in a demanding MIS curriculum to address this critical learning need? In this thought provoking session a teaching method is provided that allows professors to integrate communication skills into MIS learning, make class more entertaining as well as interesting and increase teacher evaluations.
