Abstract

This work discusses the design of an inter-disciplinary doctoral program with Computer Science and Information Systems. By combining the strengths of the two related disciplines, the design capitalizes on areas of overlapping expertise, combining the technical understanding of computer science with the innovation and business-focused areas to meet the needs of high-tech employers and innovators. Computing its application to an organization is unique in that the technology itself can be an innovative product with a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and also the application of computing technology to an organization can improve its business processes to yield a competitive advantage through lowered operating ratio, accelerated processes, and opportunity agility.
