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.

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.
