Professional Strand – Information Management – 300 level

This subject examines notions of information and knowledge in organisations. The subject begins by examining the nature of a diverse set of organisations, their structure, strategic intent and culture. The concepts of records, documents, information and knowledge management are explored. Students are exposed to techniques for analysing and evaluating the internal and external information and knowledge environments of organisations. In the second part of the subject, information and knowledge processes are discussed in terms of their value, benefits and use in strategic planning, managing, marketing, stakeholder relationships and decision making within organisations. Contemporary management theory and practices are introduced in the context of planning and delivery of information management functions within organisations. The opportunity is provided for students to explore information management issues in particular areas of practice.
