Syllabus:	Virtual and networked organisations are the focus of this unit, recognising that networked computing has had a significant impact on public and private sector organisations. Increasingly, the Internet is reshaping organisations and our experience of working within them. In this unit you will learn how and why organisations change as they utilise network technologies; you will consider the extent to which they have, therefore, become 'virtual'; you will see how the Internet promotes collaboration. As a result you will become more effective in participating in and managing organisational change involving the Internet.
