Obsolete Reasons for Introduction
Change to recommended reading to introduce Prescribed and Recommended texts for Semester 2 2003.Change of prerequisites from BUS4520 and BUS4550 or equivalent to BUS9520 Business Systems A or equivalent.The aim of The School of Business Systems is to provide teaching and research to develop IT related business solutions of a wide range of strategic and operational decision-making problems that occur in every area of business activity. In particular, many businesses have undertaken IT enabled business process re-engineering (BPR) projects under the premise of re-organising or changing their business operations to gain competitive advantage. This aspect of business systems has already been addressed by an undergraduate subject, "BUS3600: Business Case Development" that was proposed three years ago following a request from and consultations with the school's IBL sponsors. The introduction of a subject in the Business Case area to the School's postgraduate students is equally important and relevant.The proposed subject will also cover the requirements of professional practice guidelines set down by the Australian Computer Society - the school is currently seeking professional status for all its courses in the school. Therefore a postgraduate level subject addressing all aspects of the business case area is urgently needed to fulfil some of these requirements of the Australian Computer Society.At present, the postgraduate subjects in the School cover quantitative decision-making and computing subjects addressing specific industry areas such as manufacturing, finance, quality, tourism, service and health care. The proposed subject will cover broader business aspects of industry as a whole whilst focussing on IT, BPR, change management, organisational and ethical issues of the business improvement process.Last but not least, this subject will also address the strong demand within the school's postgraduate students for more business-related subjects such as business case development
