ECOM20001 Information System Management

E-Commerce (also known as Globalisation) is where companies strive to offer their goods or services around the world. E-Government is where governments, primarily those underpinned by a western style democracy, provide information and statistics to better inform their constituencies, manage election campaigns, and even enable the voting process. E-Knowledge is where people share and transfer the knowledge that is in their heads into processes, products, practices, databases, and services. In this course, students learn how leading edge enterprises manage themselves by utilising information systems (IS) and the technology that makes IS work. Critical business processes are also investigated with the aim of exploiting technology and systems to leverage planned outcomes and goals. This course is one of a growing number that de-emphasises the traditional academic lecture in order to create an improved opportunity for students to critically analyse and creatively question alternative outcomes.
