课程特征 Course Features:
Business Information Technology is one of the three pathways for the MSc Information Systems course.
In a changing, and increasingly globalised, workplace, information and communication technologies (ICT) can play a pivotal role in whether a business fails or succeeds. With employees and customers in many locations, the ability to communicate effectively across boundaries is paramount.
This pathway helps you to understand how to use ICT technologies to realise business goals and innovate business processes. Rather than learning to develop business computing solutions, you concentrate on how to exploit the power of modern IT to improve business effectiveness.
You focus on how group working and virtual teams can be best facilitated, how e-business and distributed networked systems support business objectives, and how business and knowledge processes can be modelled to achieve superior results. You learn to communicate, collaborate and co-ordinate across global teams, developing winning solutions for real life business problems.
Your knowledge and skills will be relevant to the needs of business and help companies to communicate, collaborate and co-ordinate across global teams and achieve superior results.
