Abstract
This course covers important issues relating to the management of
information systems and e-commerce. It deals with strategic information systems ,
organisational applications, managerial and decision support systems and
implementing and managing information systems for e-commerce.
The primary aim of the course is to provide knowledge of how
information systems can be used to advantage in modern organizations and to
equip students for management responsibility in the context of information
systems and e-commerce.
During the semester students will learn about different types of
information systems, such as knowledge management and e-commerce systems.
This will allow students to understand the potential benefits these systems
can attain.
The course is concerned with the managerial and organization
uses of information technology, rather than the technology itself. However,
a general understanding of technical issues is important, particularly the
technical infrastructure needed to support applications such as e-commerce.
A feature of the course is the “hands-on” activities and case studies
offered. The reason for emphasizing concrete activities and case study
examination is that engagement in concrete activities, even if relatively
simple, provides a good basis for learning and appreciation of how
principles apply in the real world.
