implementation of a project in the field of Informatics which can be applied to
real life situation. Students can choose research topics in related areas in
informatics but they are encouraged to choose research topic in their respective
focused area and incorporate social and sustainable informatics elements, and
then proceed to conduct extensive review of literature pertaining to the topic
and eventually carry out the research under the supervision of a lecturer. At the
end of the course, students are required to produce a satisfactory research
report in order to fulfil their degree requirements.

Appendix 2
This course covers a number of topics and concepts that fall under general applied
informatics including business informatics and biohealth informatics. Other applied
informatics such as social informatics, sustainable informatics (ecoinformatics), and
geoinformatics will also be introduced. This course also discusses ethics, social,
innovation and technopreneurship and legal issues in informatics. Upon successful
completion of this course it is expected that students will have a sound knowledge of
applied informatics after choosing a focus area and carrying out detailed analysis in
case studies given to them.
• Describe the basic knowledge in the field of applied informatics so that students are
able to select a focus area.
• Report on a given case study based on the selected focus area through critical
analysis.
• Propose, and orally present, system requirements in a group associated with the
selected focus area.
The course provides the framework for project management and describes the
project management knowledge areas in the context of informatics projects. It
emphasizes on the application of knowledge learned through implementing a real
project with the aid of project management software.
• Describe all the nine knowledge areas of project management, i.e. scope, time, cost,
quality, human resources, communication, risk, procurement and integration in a
real project.
• Organize a project into five phases, i.e. initiation, planning, execution, monitoring
and control, and project closure.
• Implement a real project in a group by using Microsoft Project 2007.

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:
This course covers a number of topics and concepts that fall under business
engineering and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Special focus will be
given on two main concepts, i.e.; (1) business engineering which is related to the
value change management activities of a business organization, and (2) ERP system
as an integrated computer-based system used to manage internal and external
resources, including tangible assets, financial resources, materials, and human
resources.
Besides, this course will emphasize that business organization must remain
competitive in order to survive in the global market. One way for the organization to
remain competitive, is to apply Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in
its operations & methods (O & M), especially in the management of its value chain
activities. This course will also stress that ERP systems typically could handle all of
the value chain activities, which include manufacturing, logistics, distributions,
inventory, shipping, invoicing, and accounting for a company.
The course covers basic concept related to organisation and environment elements of
a business organisations. Students also will learn approaches, issues and challenges
of global environment, organisational culture, human resources, group, team, and
operations management in business organisations. This course will also give exposure
on managing new venture formation and e-business with focus on elements of
environment
This course is about Internet-based enterprise systems for decision support and
business intelligence. The learning outcomes would lead to the understanding,
innovative application and exploitation of the current service-oriented software tools,
techniques and approaches related to data mining and data mapping, business and
competitive intelligence, as well as business performance measurement.
This course provides a graduate level managerial perspective on the effective use of
data and information technology to improve organizational performance in
healthcare settings. Information systems and data management fundamentals will
be reviewed. Types of information systems applications will be examined.
Approaches to identifying operational and strategic information needs and
management and decision tools in healthcare organisations will be explored. Current
and future healthcare information management, decision support and knowledge
management applications will be examined in the context of challenges facing
healthcare organizations today. Security, privacy, legal and ethical issues will be
explored as will the use of the information technology in healthcare.
This course contains theories and models related to consumer rights in finding and
accessing online health information. This course will cover the introduction and
history of health consumerism, the rise of consumer awareness and self-help.
Students will also learn how the public access medical research using medical
databases and Internet resources. The course will also expose students to health
information literacy, quality of health information, telemedicine and telehealth, and
this is followed by ethical issues in consumer health informatics.
This course aims at encouraging and developing the potentials of students in starting
up technology-based businesses. The course content complements each student’s
technical knowledge by exposing him or her to various approaches for exploiting such
technical knowledge through the continuous building of a business plan. Students will
be equipped with the necessary knowledge for subsequently commercialising their
product/service prototypes, either as independent technopreneurs or organisational
technopreneurs. It covers the entrepreneurial mindset, venture plan, and important
issues for start-up, growth and development. The topics include business plan
development, Internet-based market research, go-to-market, financial planning and
management, and various technopreneurial case studies.
This course exposes to the students to various issues and techniques on the
application of Internet-based technologies in international marketing. It provides the
20
foundation for the students to understand Internet marketing and associated
business models, relates E marketing global environment legal issues, develops the
essentials skills an Internet marketer needs to have and how to tap on the many
opportunities the Internet and the ICT vendors have created. Finally it discusses
modern online commerce, techniques and challenges of using the Internet to
promote and sell products/services, together with the creation of customer trust and
management of customer relationship.
This course discusses several simple topics but difficult in practice. In theory, one
needs to determine what is needed (specific goals and objectives), measure what is
requested (quantity the benefits sought), and next apply the existing ways of
achieving the maximum possible values of the needs that have been identified
(maximizing the benefits). Therefore, this course discusses topics such as financial
policy and management, budget planning, cash management, and financial and cost
accounting.
