Rationale

Today鈥檚 digital economy and the requirements of digital information are considered the backbone of competitive advantage for any business. Businesses today are embracing technology and information to engage with customers in unique and innovative ways.

Students must have some basic knowledge of how ICT can be aligned with the business strategy. They also need to have the understanding of how the alignment is implemented to realise the digital capabilities, in order for the companies to be effective within the digital economy. In order to reinforce the theoretical concepts, various innovative technologies and information systems are used as case studies so that the application of the business processes, systems and implementation can be properly understood, leading to hands-on experience.

Synopsis

This course will cover a range of topics in basic blocks associated with enterprise planning and implementation namely - strategic planning, business architecture, information architecture, technical architecture and strategic management. In order to reinforce the theoretical concepts, various innovative technologies and information systems are used as case studies so that the application of the business processes, systems and implementation can be properly understood, leading to hands-on experience.

This course introduces the building blocks of business systems within an information and communication technology (ICT) domain.

Participants will gain skills in determining their implementation value to enterprises. This is done using approaches for researching, analysing and synthesising them from sources ranging from learned to professional journals. Learners are expected to critically analyse and apply these skills to various innovative technologies and information systems to reinforce the theoretical concepts learned in the course.

NOTE: Learners undertaking this course are required to have the ability to research with an understanding of ethical research practices. Learners are also expected to critically analyse and solve problems arising in complex organisational real-life situations.
