INTERNATIONAL MASTERS IN INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (IMIM)
Offered By: Asia-Europe Institute, University of Malaya
Description
Given the gaps in information and knowledge both within and
between countries, especially between Asia and Europe, this
programme will promote local and global sharing of new information
and communication technologies much needed in the 21st century.
The impact of the New Economy on organizational structures,
management, and development processes requires a strong
grounding in economics of information and organizational systems
that promote information sharing. This Postgraduate programme is
designed to offer breadth of content, intellectual depth, and rigour
complemented with attention to a wide range of applications and
case studies. It will be of relevance to business managers as well as
those concerned with organizational development, internet, and new
media training, e-ecommerce, also research analysts and others.
This International Masters programme runs for 10 months, full-time, commencing in September.
Aims And Objectives
The increasing globalisation of business, the expansion of
information technology (IT) and competition for markets has meant
that participation in the business word required expertise of the
knowledge economy (k-economy). Skills that have been identified for
the new economy transcend many disciplines such as computing,
economics, and organizational studies. Popular subjects associated
with the K-Economy include fields such as management, economics,
and marketing.
This particular course is designed by AEI to develop this expertise by equipping students with specialist knowledge of the link between ICT, and K-Economy and the business environment in Asia and Europe. Such skills are invaluable to small-scale enterprises, multinational corporations, and policy makers in the region to ensure competitive edge and success in a global market.
