Abstract: This work reports on the initial results of the introduction of a new capstone introductory IS course for undergraduate business majors. The redesigned course is placed near the end of students' business degree program and has several pre-requisite courses. The focus of the course is on analysis of IS cases within the context of a whole business organization. While the course remains in development, the initial results are promising.
