Implementing a small business information resource management course

Abstract

This describes the implementation of an Information Resources Management course in a Small Business Management program at the School of Business and Economics, University of Maribor, Slovenia. The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge and experience to deal with information technology in small business from a managerial perspective. The theoretical part of the course is conducted in a classroom and the practical part is experienced in mentor firms. Thus students have an opportunity to compare, combine and verify "theory" and "practice" instantly and develop capability to transfer the acquired knowledge and skills into practice.
