Why is IM crucial for business?
• Technological innovation will keep providing new opportunities and disturbing business
• Critical decisions to manage IT have to be taken by business managers, not by IT/IS experts
• Success = be able
• to take advantage of transformative and wealth generating potentials of IS/IT
• to assess which IS/IT best supports the business model and invest in those
• Business depends critically on innovation and creativity in the use of data for decision-making
Big data: Example of new challenges
• Big data is a new trend (hype)
• About getting more value from the huge amounts of data generated by IT
• The key question for business and our master students is how big data can be applied to the benefit of companies, individuals and society.

Do we need IM graduates?
So the answer is: “Yes”
European employment observatory newsletter
Employers are experiencing difficulties in recruiting staff, especially
for high-skilled jobs.
It is predicted that there could be shortages in areas like the
Information Communication Technology (ICT) with an estimated
deficit for the whole of Europe of 700,000 for ICT specialists by
2015 and of one million by 2025.
To boost the EU employment rate to reach 75 % by 2020, the
European Commission launched its flagship initiative “An Agenda
for new skills and jobs”.
