Business and IT
Business success requires knowledge of customers, suppliers, business processes, and the opportunities and methods for creating business value through information and communication technologies. This knowledge is only possible through business information systems, which provide the necessary data and analytical capabilities to inform both operational and strategic decision-making. Implemented and managed effectively, business information systems can enable organisations to shorten supply chains, understand customers better, price their products more aggressively and leverage the intellectual capital of the firm’s employees.
The interaction between business and IT is key to the success of most organisations. It is vital that business managers have an understanding of IT processes and systems, while IT specialists also have a strong understanding of how their work fits in with the core business strategy. Business and IT programs at the Graduate School of Business and Economics cater to increasing industry demands, and are suited to the needs of recent graduates as well as established professionals.
Careers in Business and IT
Demand is high for executives and professionals who understand business and information technologies in a truly integrated manner, and who are able to recognise the new business opportunities and novel solutions to business challenges that technology can provide.
Today, the successful professional – whether business person or technologist, senior executive or junior manager – must have a comprehensive business understanding of information and communications technology and its use and impact on the functional areas of the business. Our graduates are well equipped for careers in a variety of fields, including management consulting
