This multidisciplinary programme is designed to help you understand and shape innovation in e-business and e- commerce brought about by internet, mobile, and multimedia technologies.
The programme focuses on skills and knowledge required to maximise the potential of modern information technologies for innovation in business. To achieve this goal, the programme has been designed as a holistic experience with an equal balance of business and technology topics and with a focus on online and international businesses. The programme provides a unique integration of theory and practice with practice-orientated teaching based on case studies and real-world examples; teaching partnerships with IBM and SAP; regular guest lectures, and company-based dissertation projects.
Employability
Successful students will be well equipped to gain employment as: Business managers/consultants in private and public sector organisations responding to innovations in ICT; managers in new or emerging firms requiring entrepreneurial skills to exploit ICT innovations; project managers in existing technology and service providers seeking staff with strong managerial skills, ICT knowledge and organisational or research based experience.
132 The Management School
Structure The taught programme provides an integrated compulsory curriculum together with two complementary routes (A and B) depending on your preferences. All modules are credit bearing.
Bridging Modules Introduction to ICT
Management in Context
Students from management disciplines are required to take Introduction to ICT and students from computing disciplines are required to take Management in Context. Students from more general disciplines can choose, in consultation with the programme Director, which module to take.
These two bridging modules are designed to enable you to access cross-disciplinary modules. This means students from management disciplines can take the advanced computing options (Route B) and students from computing disciplines can take the management options (Route A).
Compulsory Modules Managing Complexity Innovation
E-Business (including SAP) Technology for E-Business
Managing IT Architecture (IBM) Information Management Business Planning and Finance and Strategy Research Methods, assessed as part of the dissertation for MSc students
Optional Modules Route A - Management (all)
E-supply chain management; E-marketing; Managing and Learning in Project Environments; Enterprise Systems
Route B - Advanced Computing (any two) Network and System Security; Mobile Computing; System Dependability, Software Innovation and Entrepreneurs
Dissertation Industry projects are a vital component of the programme and the dissertation can be either an organisational (working with a business to solve real-world problems) or research- based. Research-based projects offer the chance for in-depth study of a chosen topic, either with the aim of developing current theory or of focusing on a particular technology issue. On organisational projects, you work in small consultancy teams (typically three) working for 10 weeks with a company which enables you to put your learning on the taught programmes into practice on real life projects.
