6. Connections… Through Intro Course Extracurricular Entrepreneurship Field Studies

7. How We Got Here –Increasing demand for our students, but trend not always reflected in enrollment – [Akbulut-Bailey, 2012; Becker et al., 2006; Granger et al., 2007; Granger et al., 2007] –Cirricular-focused research: the courses to be included, the topics and content to be taught, and specific teaching techniques and examples to be employed in the classroom –[Firth et al., 2008; Looney and Akbulut, 2007; Topi et al., 2010; Fichman et al. 2014] –Our Approach: describe how our university’s IS curriculum benefits from the forging of connections between the IS curriculum and: the broader management curriculum, faculty research and teaching interest, and student extracurricular activities – Intro Core Coures – Extracurricular Programs in Entrepreneurship – Field Learning Opportunities

9. Get 'em Early  The Intro Core Course

10. Freshman Core Course – First course in management, taught through the lens of technology – Framing question: – “How can I possibly compete when everyone can copy my technology & the competition is a click away?” – Accessible, Practice-focused Content – strategic & cross-disciplinary focus – case-chapters – framework/concepts chapters – exam & group project

11. Flexibility Over Rigidity – Room for faculty expertise – Topic Teaching Across Sections: – minimizes preps – intense teaching period followed by more "focus" time for research/admin – introduces faculty talent / generates added interest – raises the bar & encourages sharing
