Information and Process Management (IPM)
Courses in Information and Process Management (IPM) focus on two managerial questions that are essential for modern organizations: How to ensure that the right people have the right information at the right time, and how to structure organizational processes so that they best serve the organization’s goals. In our IPM courses, you’ll learn how information and process goals can be achieved following policies and practices that ensure security and privacy of individuals and companies. Selection and configuration of large-scale enterprise systems are key elements of the department’s offerings. IPM also enables you to partner with real-world organizations to help them define and execute more efficient and effective end-to-end strategies.

Proudfoot asks: Can technology detect untrustworthy employees?
Headlines abound with stories about employees who have stolen corporate data or damaged proprietary information systems. So what can companies do to guard against such malfeasance? In his latest research, Assistant Professor Jeff Proudfoot examines how mouse-cursor movements can be used to identify employees who may be concealing information or engaging in deception.
Wiener evaluates project control theories and outcomes
Where information systems projects are concerned, project controls — that is, the methods and processes employed to stay within time and budget constraints — are a necessity. But are some project controls more effective than others? In his latest research, Associate Professor Martin Wiener suggests that controls which prioritize stewardship theory (value creation) over agency theory (value appropriation) lead to greater success in digital innovation and transformation initiatives.
