- analyse internal and external dimensions of enterprise systems by using appropriate theories, modelsexamples and personalisations;
- 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.
- 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/)
