This course builds on the material introduced in INFS7040 Electronic Commerce for Managers by covering the strategic architecting, development and use of Business IT systems and processes in organisations and business enterprises. Topical issues such as the organizational enterprise architecture and business process management implications raised by e-commerce/e-business/e-government, trust in the enterprise environment, supply chain and customer relationship management systems, legacy information systems integration, data and content management, business analysis, requirements engineering and systems realisation and managerial implementation (including executive judgement) are also covered in the course. An in-depth course project is required as part of the assessment.

Learning Outcomes

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

  1. define concepts, theories and processes principles in enterprise systems;
  2. demonstrate a critical understanding of enterprise systems and processes theories and current qualityresearch associated with the specific topics covered in this course;
  3. apply evidence-based best practice enterprise systems and processes analysis;
  4. analyse internal and external dimensions of enterprise systems by using appropriate theories, modelsexamples and personalisations;
  5. communicate effectively in oral and written forms about enterprise systems and processes principles,concepts and theories, and their application using appropriate comparisons, logic, arguments and reflections.
  6. undertake an applied enterprise systems and processes research project.

Research-Led Teaching

The course uses IT theory and research drawn from high quality peer reviewed literature and materials. Students are encouraged to engage with contemporary management studies and literature, and the IT Body of Knowledge as part of their course participation and learning activities. ANU provides world class library facilities so that students have the best access to high quality peer reviewed literature: http://anulib.anu.edu.au/ (http://anulib.anu.edu.au/)

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offers a number of workshops and seminars that you may find useful for your studies.

Online Submission

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Hardcopy Submission

For some forms of assessment (hand written assignments, art works, laboratory notes, etc.) hard copy submission is appropriate when approved by the Associate Dean (Education). Hard copy submissions must utilise the Assignment Cover Sheet. Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records.
