Managing Information & Supply Chains

Today, more and more information is needed to manage organizations, large and small. From the entrepreneur to the large multinational corporation, managers are looking for the right information in the right format provided at just the right time to make decisions.

The Department of Decision & Information Sciences in the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston offers three areas of concentration to support just this type of decision making: Management Information Systems, Business Analytics and Supply Chain Management.
