Why is it crucial for MIS professionals to continually increase their business and technical knowledge?
Successful MIS professionals hold within themselves and apply in the corporate world a fully even-handed blend of business and technical expertise and acumen. This means that an MIS education must include an even-handed blend of business and technical competencies. But even after graduation from a comprehensive, balanced MIS program, an MIS education is not complete. Successful MIS professionals are in a continual state of learning, because falling behind in either their business skill and knowledge set or their technical expertise will mean failure for them and, quite possibly, their organization. Successful MIS professionals and organizations will always forge ahead, applying the latest technologies and business knowledge to make themselves as competitive as possible in the global marketplace.
