234809 v.4 Information Systems and Electronic Commerce Double Major

Introduction

This double major is designed for those seeking a career in information systems with a specialisation in electronic commerce. The information systems component of the course concentrates on the planning and design of business information systems. The electronic commerce component recognises the growing importance of the computing and communications-based technologies that make up the so-called 'information superhighway'. As business becomes more global and the nature of organisations changes to capitalse on international opportunities, international commerce and trade is becoming increasingly reliant on electronic commerce technology. The focus of this double major therefore is on global or inter-organisational systems.
