INFOSYS 725 : New Perspectives on Organisations and Information Systems

Postgraduate course

Project description

Investigates major issues facing organisations in adopting, implementing and using information systems for competitive advantage. Explores a set of critical issues from both an academic and practical perspectives. Topics include: Strategic Information Systems, Ecommerce, Knowledge Management, the Emergence of the Business Process, ERP Implementation, Virtual Teams and Global IT, IS and Developing Countries. The course really attempts to teach students two things. First and foremost, this course is about learning how to write a research paper. We will talk about how to frame and focus a research question, how to write a literature review, and how to develop a study. This is different, but complementary to quantitative and qualitative research methods. Those are analytical techniques. This course explores how to set up and develop the question.
