“This track has been very unique, allowing students to work within teams to discuss ideas, opportunities and potential limitations of information technology. Through discussion and the analysis ... we have had the opportunity to gather first hand experience of potential working environments which we may encounter in the future. ” JS 2015

“This module has helped me focus technological and innovative ideas, critical thinking, and managerial competencies ". GA 2015

“Yes! I met an awesome teacher who taught me how to use information system technologies to help me with future management practice. I learned how to think differently and how to give my challenges a happy ending" ZM 2015

 “I realised many things through this module that surprisingly I didn't know so far. The notion that information technologies are not only to create new things and constantly evolve with no meaning simply to impress. Information systems should have a purpose that is to foster innovation and productivity. And not all technologies are good and effective if they not truly make our lives easier " LG 2015

 “This module has provided us with a new perspective towards looking at businesses and even ourselves. It outlined how the consumer trust is changing and how they do not trust on what businesses say today, but only on their networks. This module will definitely help me to think in a different way to use information technology to foster not only just sell their products or services in an organisation but productivity and address to customer problems in a way that they can rely upon, trust and create value from the experience that they gain" PK 2015

 “The course makes us understand the importance of many things like networks and connections that you see all around you in day to day but you never really sit down and analyse it's real potentials. By looking at interesting examples that you wouldn't come across on your own, you realise the importance of creativity and the endless possibilities that IT has to offer. How some small change in something that is already existing can build a successful business . We have been introduced to some very interesting tools .. I personally loved the flipboard and I will be using it a lot for reading up and exploring new things. It has been a great experience." PC 2015
