Zusammenfassung:	Since information technology amounts to half of the typical U.S. firm's capital expenditures, a key concern is how AACSB (American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business)-accredited MBA (Masters of Business Administration) programs are educating their rising executives in technology management. This study details a content analysis of 45 syllabi used in the required information technology course in AACSB-accredited MBA programs. Elements analyzed include course name, texts or required readings, assessment methods and weights, the proportion of assessment linked to team work, and course topics. Topics are compared to critical issues in technology management identified by both CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) and CIOs (Chief Information Officers) in recent surveys. The study may be used by accredited schools and those seeking accreditation to benchmark their own required MBA information technology course. Appendices include a list of participating colleges and universities, and tables that present data on textbooks, assessment methods, teamwork percentages, and course topics. (MES)
