Detailed Description
Students enhance their knowledge and analysis of information systems
with a view to supporting business transformation for competitive
advantage. Students apply concepts and skills, developed in the
course, to real world cases and design information systems to meet
business challenges that reflect ethical and secure practices.
Students gain a deeper perspective on issues relating to security,
privacy and ethics and the management of the human resources component
of information systems through on-line and face-to-face discussions.
In group assignments, students model the configuration of an
enterprise system and investigate various ways information systems
have been used for successful business transformation and alignment
with customers, suppliers and stakeholders. Students utilize a current
project management application to plan the implementation of a
proposed information systems solution.
