Organisations and Management is one of the three pathways for the MSc Information Systems course.
In the current financial climate, organisations are facing major challenges and having to adapt their business practices to survive. The internet, blogging, Web 2.0 and online auctions are changing the ways goods and services are sold, and the way organisations manage their daily work. New organisational practice is essential to keep up with contemporary business practices.
This pathway gives you the critical knowledge to help companies face these new challenges. You look at organisational practice and how the potential application of information systems (IS) can help businesses improve their practices. You gain a much sought-after insight into how IS are related to organisational structures and management practices, and the effectiveness of both.
As well as providing a thorough understanding of IS and its use in business and organisational practice, this pathway also focuses on managing the relationship between people, organisations and technology in contemporary society.
