We have an established expertise in how information systems affect organisations and how they make the business more efficient and effective.

Information Systems are informed by business objectives and are central to the management and operation of organisations. They are important in supporting business process and operations, decision-making for employees and managers and setting strategy to ensure the health and survival of organisations.

In attempting to understand how the needs of the organisation determine the requirements of information systems, it is important to take a socio-technical perspective of the issues. The University’s approach recognises the role of human attributes and performance in the system as well as business process and information technology.
