Management and Information Systems: Change and Development
This course aims to train `hybrid managers’ capable of understanding both the job of management in its organisational setting, and the role, management and jargon of information, information systems and information technology.
It intends to help close the gap of knowledge, skills, culture and language that exists between functional managers and information systems professionals – a gap that results in the majority of information systems, including e-government, e-commerce, and e-development systems, under-performing or becoming failures.
You’ll therefore graduate in a strong position to lead the successful development and implementation of new information systems in a wide range of organisations.
