Minor in Information Systems
Objectives
Information Technology (IT) has become a key component of organisations
today. Its impact is felt from the way organisations are structured
all the way to the design, development, manufacture and marketing of
products. It enables organisational and operational processes. It is
also embedded in products and services. It is vital that this key resource
is efficiently managed.
The aim of this minor is to introduce students to the key concepts
involved in the management of IT. The target audience for this minor
consists of both users of technology as well as providers of technology.
The course should benefit would-be managers, engineers and entrepreneurs
