This course prepares students for future managerial level appointments by introducing the important management and socio-technical concepts related to the strategic development, investment and use of Business IT systems in organizations and business enterprises.  The course actively builds on the material introduced in INFS1001 Business Information Systems, by focusing on integrated business systems thinking, particularly in the areas of organizational enterprise architecture and business process management.  The course also covers enterprise systems design principles; the "people" dimension of enterprise systems; trust, security and ethics in the enterprise; enterprise resource, supply chain and customer relationship management systems; and, the importance of executive information systems in the corporate decision-making process.  A practically oriented research report targeted at a contemporary real-world business problem is required as part of the assessment.  

Other supplementary material needed will be provided, as will the presentations used in lectures (downloadable from the course website).
