Abstract

The changes of the market and information technology environment that resulted from the growth of internet and other network technologies are now demanding the change of the existing business processes and structures. It is transforming the company into the internet business through redesigning and correcting the value activities of the company. Also these changes reevaluate the strategic value of information systems and resources and new competitive principles from these changes are dominating the industry. Thus all of the companies must try to change themselves into knowledge organizations that are able to recreate new knowledge using available information and knowledges. By the way, it is reported that many companies have been still suffering from the lack of manpower having the advanced information technology and to the contrary, the university has some severe problems that many graduates didn't get the jobs they wanted. We think that such a problems might be due to the unbalance between the demands of company and/or industry and the supply of the university about the level of information technology. Thus new approach will be needed to solve the unbalance as well as what and how to educate students regarding information technology in university. In this paper, it is suggested that the new curriculum can be developed based on the career path.
