The programme incorporates a number of current and emerging subject areas such as cyber security and risk management, data analytics and insight management. There is an emphasis on management of business transformation projects and value creation by thought leadership, product-service development and intellectual property management.Creativity and innovation are developed through the juxtaposition of future-oriented themes and a focus on the analysis of business processes; the design, development and implementation of computer information systems solutions; strategic brand management; and knowledge-based client relationships.Students develop an appreciation of responsible management through a focus on the moral and ethical responsibilities of business. This includes awareness of the need to generate sustainable value for their own business and client organisations, and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy. This supports the University's commitment to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (www.unprme.org).On completing the course, students are able to meet the commercial challenges of managing and leading information systems development projects, implementation programmes and IT services businesses in complex and changing global markets.
