Aims and objectives

New unit from 2023 (replaces INF10003)
 
This unit aims to instill an appreciation of how technology can be used to assist business in the era of digitalization, without the technology becoming an end in itself. In particular, the unit aims to generate an awareness of the importance of digital technologies and information to organisational decision-making. Further, we examine how managers and practitioners can ensure the fitness-for-purpose of digital technologies and information to the decision makers such that business might gain a competitive advantage in digitalized world. Students gain a strong foundation of business systems fundamentals and an appreciation of how digital technologies impact business stakeholders, customers, suppliers, manufacturers, service makers, regulators, managers and employees.
