Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

In this paper, we want you to learn about the most important and relevant digital business technologies for organisations today. We want you to understand these technologies from a research perspective, and develop the skills necessary to critically review the digital business technology and related research. Material and learning opportunities are delivered through a range of resources - video, readings, discussion, case studies, and interacting with some digital technologies. You will have an opportunity to research a subject of interest to you and prepare your own set of video lectures for the rest of the class to watch and comment on. The major "capstone" project for the paper is the preparation and presentation of a research-based e-poster.

NOTE: This paper is appraised by students after every offering. We endeavour to incorporate the feedback provided by this form appraisal process. Based on feedback received from previous students, a number of improvements have been made.
