Developing ICT and business skills
KNOWLEDGE and information is key for businesses to strategise and forge ahead in the market today. To get to strategic knowledge and information, it is now becoming imperative for managers to be apt in using information and communications technology (ICT) tools and solutions within their business environments.
Recognising this need, Sunway University College's School of IT, Telecommunications and Multimedia is offering e-business as a new specialisation in its Information Systems (IS) course which is geared towards training students in the technological, analytical and managerial skills necessary to develop as hybrid manager- technologists.
According to the school's director Kanendran T. Arulrajah, the course is positioned to motivate students to present business ideas, identify business issues that are critical to the successful application of ICT and the usage of IS within a business environment with current tools, techniques and state-of-the-art and emerging technologies.
To introduce students to industrial, Kanendran said a business incubator is set up as part of the industrial attachment subject to enable students to apply concepts of business IT.
"The e-business specialisation encompasses academic and industrial certifications endorsed by distinguished organisations such as SPSS, MYOB- LCCI and EC-Council to enable students to be in- demand in the competitive job market. In addition, the e-business students are automatic members of the Malaysian Institute of Management, a reputable business-industrial- oriented organisation," he elaborated.
"Students under the e-business major are taken to task with application- based assignments such as organising a mini PC bazaar with the involvement of various business entities and producing business ideas for competition where students are to develop their ideas into reality within the business incubator as part of their industrial attachment," he explained
