MIS7134 The Information Economy VII
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Credit Points: 30
 
Description:

This unit is based around the concept that information is a product and regardless of industry will be the value-added component which differentiates goods and services in the marketplace. As such information has a cost and a value and organisations must learn how to gauge these and develop strategies for IT investment which will lead to real business value. Information is also the prime agent of change not only in business but for society as a whole. This has far reaching implications for social and cultural change and the IS professional must recognise these responsibilities and ensure adequate attention to ethical conduct.
