ECOM20001  Information Systems Management: Integrating e-Commerce

This course endeavours to develop an integrated view of the information system process as it affects the 21st century enterprise. Throughout, the emphasis will be on demonstrating student capability for original approach to problem/challenge solutions which encompass the student's background and experience while incorporating local geographical and cultural issues. As we know, business challenges have several different solutions. Some solutions are more appropriate than others, many times depending on management's ability to factor in numerous variables, the least of which is the pace of change brought about by technological advances.

On-campus students will critically analyse and present management issues using Microsoft Powerpoint in class. Distance education students will accomplish this electronically. Weekly participation and contribution is mandatory and will be assessed.

Access to the Internet is highly desirable as Internet use is an integral part of the teaching strategy. Students who are unable to arrange Internet access must contact the lecturer before Week 1.
