Database management systems are the foundation of the business operations of the organisation. Database management systems must effectively store, access and manipulate data as well as provide data security, data sharing and data integrity. As the database technology advances rapidly, information professionals must not only understand the concepts and principles of database systems but also the associated management issues.

This course is a first introduction to the concepts and techniques of data mining, a promising and flourishing frontier in information systems applications. Data mining, sometimes also referred to as knowledge discovery in databases, is concerned with the convenient, automated extraction of patterns representing knowledge implicitly stored in large databases, data warehouses and other massive data repositories. Data mining is an interdisciplinary field, drawing work from areas including database technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, pattern recognition, knowledge-based systems, knowledge acquisition, information retrieval, high-performance computing and data visualisation. The goal of this course is to introduce students to data mining life cycle, to get students to appreciate the key methods and algorithms that form the core of data mining and to give them data mining experience using hands-on projects which they will complete using a FOSS data mining package.
Effective project management has emerged over the last decade as one of the key determinants of success in many areas of management, including the information systems and information technology industries. This unit provides an understanding of the role and challenges faced by project management, both now and into the future. This will provide direct value to those who wish to move into a project management role, or who wish to improve their existing project management skills, or who simply seek knowledge of the concepts of project management. The unit contains three major modules; what you must know for effective project management, simple tools for project planning, and how to plan and document project management.

This course introduces basic principles that help IT managers make fundamental decisions involving the use of information systems, that is, when, where and how to apply them. Areas covered include the role of management in Information Systems (IS), using Information Technology (IT) for competitive advantage, taking an active role in IS development and managing IS resources. The course focuses the latest theory and practice in data warehousing, analytical processing, business process improvement, and e-business transformation. A local company case work to develop the major themes of information management to enhance individual and organisational performance will be carried out. There is an emphasis on applying insights to practical management situations in adopting e-business solutions. Students discover that information management concentrates on understanding and utilising the core concepts of information, management, data management, organisational communication and behaviour.

The course has two strands. In the first strand the students learn rigorous foundations of the concepts of limits, continuity, sequences and series already encountered by them in MA111, MA112 and MA211. In the second strand the students are introduced to complex analysis. Complex analysis has applications in partial differential equations, Fourier series, theoretical physics and many other areas of pure and applied sciences.

This Quantitative Business Analysis course provides MBA students with the fundamental knowledge of quantitative methods (namely statistical concepts, and theories) and their application in business analysis. The application of the statistical theory provides students with the real-world examples for better understanding of business analysis and acquisition of skills. The problem-solving methods used in this course expose the students to practical business problems and strategic decision-making. The focus of this course is to apply quantitative methods using examples.
