Abstract

Since mid-1990s, demands for programmer have been decreasing, and the experts of planning IT strategy and solving overall management issues with IT have been increasingly needed. IS experts would have many different types of job as time passes, and they need variety of job competencies to meet their career paths. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential careers to suit MIS major and the needed skills in that field to develop MIS Curriculum. We asked to the personnel working in the IS organization and user departments to evaluate the current MIS curriculum of 4 year colleges in Korea and to let us know what jobs are the most important for them, what the core job competencies for them are. The results of study show that there are several courses the users and IS experts regard as core courses: Introduction to Management, Project Management, Introduction to MIS, DBMS, ERP, Systems Development Methodology, and IS Strategy Planning. IS experts regard the data and application integration, IT evaluation and strategic planning as the important jobs, and the most important job competency to conduct those jobs is the category of interpersonal skills, and business management knowledge, IT skills are succeeded.

본 연구는 국내 4년제 대학 MIS 교육과정을 실무자 관점에서 평가하고, IS 인력의 업무내용과 수행비중, 그리고 그에 요구되는 핵심 직무 역량을 현업 부서원들과 IS 전문가 관점에서 비교 분석함으로써 4년제 대학 및 IT 전문기관의 교육 프로그램 방향과 교수법에 관해 논의하고자 하는 것이다. 실무자들의 인식에 따르면 향후 NIS 전공자에게 가장 적합한 직무는 IS 기획 및 전략 수립, 어플리케이션 시스템 개발, IT 컨설팅 등으로 나타났고, IS 전문가에게 요구되는 핵심 직무 기술로는 인간관계 기술군이 가장 중요한 것으로 인식되었으며, 경영활동의 흐름과 프로세스에 대한 이해, 경영기능에 대한 지식, 그리고 최신 IT에 대한 지식과 평가 능력, IT 요소기술군 순으로 나타났다.
