This course gives students a thorough grounding in the management of technology in an organisational context, placing particular emphasis on the Chief Information Officer perspective. The unit material complements applied student knowledge with a theoretical technology management foundation. Topics are presented from a textbook and, where appropriate, relevant readings from the contemporary literature are used to present competing points of view. Topics include the information system in the organisation, information system planning, enterprise systems in context, systems to support operations and management, policy development and directive management, and technology economics. Students are introduced to the practical aspects of this area through a series of organisational case studies.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Appraise BIS strategic planning and management principles, concepts, and theories;
2. Demonstrate a critical understanding of BIS strategic planning and management theories and current quality research associated with the specific topics covered in this course;
3. Apply evidence in formulating best practice BIS strategic planning and management analysis;
4. Contrast internal and external dimensions of BIS strategic planning and management by applying appropriate theories, models, examples, and personalizations;
5. Communicate effectively in oral and written forms about BIS strategic planning and management principles, concepts and theories, and their application using appropriate comparisons, logic, arguments, and reflections;
6. Apply ethical judgment in best practice BIS strategic planning and management analysis, consistent with the ACS Code of Ethics;
7. Undertake an applied BIS strategic planning and management team research project that formulates longer term BIS strategy and constructs medium-tactical term plans and technical solutions.
