Information systems (IS) and information technologies(IT) are changing work practices, reshaping organisations, transforming cultures, and giving new meaning to the way we see the world. This course is designed to help students understand the role of IS/IT in the enterprise and the means by which these systems are designed, developed, utilised and maintained. The course will focus on enterprise information architecture including the components of the enterprise strategy, business, application, information, and infrastructure layers. This course provides not only a framework for understanding information systems but also language to identify their dynamic complexities and interdependencies.
