OU Price College Of Business | Management and Information Systems

The OU Center for MIS Studies, an interdisciplinary center located in the Michael F. Price College of Business at the University of Oklahoma, is a partnership between the University, business and government to share the knowledge, skills, and efforts of OU's MIS Division with member firms in a framework that encourages innovations and productivity. Effective IT management requires that businesses understand and utilize rapidly changing technologies and complex organizational policies, strategies and structures. The dramatic changes of the client/server and netcentric eras combined with the move toward outsourcing makes keeping up with IT developments a challenge for many companies. Access to innovative research and emerging knowledge from academia can often help in better managing people, processes, and systems. Similarly access to real world experiences and leading edge technologies can help academics improve their teaching and research activities.

The fundamental idea of the Center for MIS Studies is resource sharing -- to share the knowledge, skills, and efforts of the University and the member organizations in a framework that encourages innovation, quality and productivity at a reasonable cost.
