Look in any newspaper, magazine or journal & you'll see charts, graphs, tables & diagrams being used in an attempt to reduce the vast amount of data that we generate to a digestible whole.

The most important things about statistics are what they mean & what they can be used for, not how they are calculated. Because of this there is very little maths in this course, & any calculations will be the kind that can be done in your head or on a scrap of paper. Having a calculator handy would save a little effort, but it isn't essential. ...

We are therefore developing the important concept of integration. Integration can have important strategic effects. In this course, you see just what these effects are in the fields of managing in a global, digitised business environment. Networking can also be important at a more local level. Both organisations & individuals can be affected in various, but often conflicting, ways. We look at how networked computer-based information systems can promote discovery, communication & collaboration. We begin by taking an overall view of the Internet & explaining the ways that people can use it to communicate. Since communication enables collaboration, we then go on to describe group support systems & how they can help management decision making in organisations. In the business context, a major promise of the Internet is the development of electronic commerce. We therefore consider the potential range of operation, benefits & limitations of e-commerce. Our study will include a number of practical applications. Finally, we consider the ethical & other issues at the human level which all these developments bring with them. Like previous technological revolutions, global information systems have significant implications for both individuals & society, & we need to be aware of these as management decision makers. After completing this course, you should be able to: distinguish between various forms of networked information technology understand the concept of the Internet & explain the ways in which it enables communication demonstrate how networks facilitate collaboration between users describe the main features of electronic commerce & critically appreciate its
