Introduction au module
The widespread use of digital technology is transforming the economic landscape as radically as electricity and railways revolutionized industry in the 19th century. Digital technologies have become the backbone of every organization. To make effective use of them, information systems (IS) are implemented to support the organization's operational and strategic objectives. This course therefore enables students to become familiar with the three structuring characteristics of IS (information, organization, and technology) and their practical applications in business.
Finalité d'apprentissage (Bloc de compétences)
- 1. S’approprier les usages avancés et spécialisés des outils de l’intelligence digitale en s’assurant de leur impact durable et responsable,2. Produire et mobiliser des savoirs hautement spécialisés, issus d’une réflexion critique, et dans un champ d’expertise
Objectifs d'apprentissage
- 1.2 - Actionner les outils de l'intelligence digitale de manière efficiente, pour accompagner les transformations sociétale, numérique, énergétique et environnementale des organisations, en s'assurant de leur impact durable et responsable.

Méthode pédagogique
The course combines face-to-face lectures, in-class activities, case studies, and quizzes.
Système de notation et modalités de rattrapage
The overall grade for this course is a weighted average of two components:
60% – Continuous in-class assessment: various activities carried out during the course, including case studies and multiple-choice questionnaires (MCQs).
40% – Final exam (CF — Contrôle Final): a written, in-person exam designed to validate the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the module.
The catch-up exam (CF2) counts for 100% of the final grade.
Règlement du module
Professor–Student Communication
• The professor will contact students through their school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and the Moodle portal. There will be no communication via personal email addresses. It is the student's responsibility to check their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox regularly.
• Students may communicate with the professor through the institutional email address. If necessary, meetings can be arranged during office hours or by appointment.
Students with Accommodation Needs
If a student has a disability that prevents them from completing the described work or requires any accommodation, they should inform the program director (with supporting documents) as soon as possible. Students are also encouraged to discuss their needs directly with the professor.
Class Behavior
• Students are permitted to use their laptops during class for course-related activities only. Any use for non-course purposes (e.g., social media, gaming, or unrelated browsing) is strictly prohibited.
• Out of courtesy for the professor and classmates, all mobile phones, electronic games, or other devices that generate sound must be turned off during class.
• Students should avoid disruptive and disrespectful behavior, including arriving late, leaving early, sleeping, reading non-course material, using vulgar language, speaking over others, eating, or drinking. A warning may be issued on the first infraction. Repeated violations will result in penalties and may lead to expulsion from the class and/or other disciplinary proceedings.
• The tolerated delay is 5 minutes. Attendance will be recorded via a QR code provided by the professor at the start of each session.
• Students must arrive on time for exams and assessments. No one will be permitted to enter the classroom once the first student has finished and left the room — there are no exceptions to this rule. No student may continue the exam once the allotted time has elapsed, and no student may leave the room during an examination until they have finished and handed in all documents.
• In the case of remote learning, students must keep their camera on unless otherwise instructed by the professor.
Honor Code
IMT-BS is committed to a policy of academic honesty. Conduct that compromises this policy may result in academic and/or disciplinary sanctions. Students must refrain from cheating, lying, plagiarizing, and stealing. This includes producing original work and properly crediting any person whose ideas or materials, including those sourced from the Internet, are paraphrased or directly quoted. Any student who violates, or assists another student in violating, academic behavior standards will be sanctioned in accordance with IMT-BS rules.
