| Description | This unit provides an introduction to Business Information Systems (BIS) and the organisational contexts in which they operate. An understanding of BIS is important to the work of all business professionals and this unit has been designed for both BIS and non-BIS majors. BIS play an important role in organisations as both a tool to support business processes and activities, and as an enabler of business innovation. This unit will help you to understand how information is used to meet organisational objectives; the complex and changing information environment from the perspective of stakeholders; and the management issues associated with making effective use of BIS. These are explored with reference to enterprise-wide systems and small to medium systems in business and government. You will learn how to use conceptual frameworks and systems documentation tools to analyse practical problems in the operations of information systems and identify new opportunities for business value creation through innovative applications of various BIS. |
