SELT Survey Results

This course approaches information systems from the executive and operational management perspective. It assumes a familiarity with the fundamentals of business and information systems from a technological point of view, as would be covered in a foundation course in this area. The emphasis of the course will be on understanding concepts, characteristics and factors, particularly from technological and non-technological perspectives, that are likely to impact the effectiveness and success of information systems in business environments. The aim of the course is therefore to provide students with a balanced view and deeper understanding of developing information systems strategy and managing information systems from organisational and technical perspectives so that they have a theoretically sound, but nevertheless practically oriented foundation, from which to successfully tackle information systems projects, initiatives and implementations.

Learning Outcomes

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

  1. Appraise BIS strategic planning and management principles, concepts, and theories;
  2. Demonstrate a critical understanding of BIS strategic planning and management theories and current quality research associated with the specific topics covered in this course;
  3. Apply evidence in formulating best practice BIS strategic planning and management analysis;
  4. Contrast internal and external dimensions of BIS strategic planning and management by applying appropriate theories, models, examples, and personalizations;
  5. Advocate effectively in oral and written forms about BIS strategic planning and management principles, concepts and theories, and their application using appropriate comparisons, logic, arguments, and reflections;
  6. Apply principled investigation and ethical judgment in best practice BIS strategic planning and management analysis, consistent with the ACS Code of Ethics;
  7. Assemble an applied BIS strategic planning and management team research project that formulates longer term BIS strategy and constructs medium-tactical term plans and technical solutions.

Research-Led Teaching

Research-led Teaching and Instruction: 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/)

Practitioner-led Teaching and Instruction: Research led education is complemented with Practitioner led education within the course in the form of a strategically ‘pivoted’ ACS accredited capstone major team project, and the executive facilitated learning and assessment guidance workshops. Consistent with ACS accredited courses, these assessment and delivery artefacts are offered as opportunities for advanced learning through deeper engagement with executive experiences and behaviors in the context of IT professionalized practice. This is also presented as conduits for improving graduate employment search and placement potential.

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.
