MAN1600 Information Systems for Business
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

Information Systems are made up of hardware, software, data, procedures and people. Management Information Systems (MIS) is the development and use of information systems that help businesses achieve their goals and objectives. While businesses can purchase hardware and software that may be generally available to all organisations, it is how these components are used together with the data, procedures and people in an organisation that could provide businesses with a competitive advantage.

 
In this unit students will examine some of the underlying issues in the use and development of information systems across a number of industry types and organisational functions, enabling students to gain an appreciation of how information systems support business strategy. This includes the role of the Internet and emerging technologies. The unit will also examine the ethical, social, cultural, international and legal implications of information systems.
