Aims & Learning Objectives:
The aim of this unit is to expose students to a wide range of views of the current state of the art in terms of application of IS in organisations and various social and organisational issues. This unit examines the organisational pervasiveness of information systems, investigating their role in functional support and throughout the hierarchy of the organisation. This includes assessment of the dynamic relationship between the different organisational contexts and the application of IS, and illustrative case examples of how they can be employed to meet organisational objectives in different industries.
Content:
The sessions will be of two types:
* Those that investigate types applications of IS in organisations
* Those that investigate the different social/organisational contexts in which IS are designed and used.
The learning will be student centred: students will be expected to carry out individual research and investigations. Guest speakers will present their own experiences of systems and contexts.
