Course description
About Information Systems Management
Modern businesses require employees who have knowledge of people, technology and organisations. Learn about all three and position yourself for a rewarding and stimulating career. The term information systems is used instead of computing to indicate that we are interested in organisational solutions - not just the technology itself. Studies have shown that employers seek people with business and people skills as well as computing skills.
