This unit presents business process management as a fundamental requirement for effective business management. It highlights the critical link between business processes, information technology and the Internet. It presents information technology and e-business technologies as important enablers of business change and discusses how effective implementation of enterprise systems requires good understanding and amendment of enterprise business processes. It discusses the enterprise level, process level and implementation level aspects of managing business processes and emphasizes the critical role managers play in process change. The widely used process improvement methodology Six Sigma is presented as providing a useful set of tools for managing process change. The increasingly pervasive process framework ITIL will be introduced and its focus on servicing the customer will be highlighted. Students will demonstrate a mastery of knowledge including the importance of planning and managing information systems and its interrelationship between enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling. They will also demonstrate mastery of knowledge in information technology necessary to make decisions in process change management. The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has adopted the skills framework for the information age (SFIA) and have created a Core Body of Knowledge (CBOK) to identify IT capabilities and knowledge. These frameworks have been used to inform the learning outcomes of this unit. The unit meets SFIA learning outcomes in the following: Business Analysis. The unit is aligned with the ACS CBOK in the following. Assessed in assignments: Problem Solving (Abstraction, Design); Technology Resources (Hardware and Software). Assessed in exam: Problem Solving (Abstraction, Design); Technology Resources (Hardware and Software); Technology Building (Systems Acquisition).
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.
On-campus students attend a weekly session, consisting of a lecture with online demonstrations and presentation case material, and a laboratory with lab exercises. Industry standard modelling softwares and methods will be used. The material for this unit will be supplemented with regular industry speakers (where appropriate these will be recorded for off-campus students). For off-campus students the unit will be supported by online readings, discussion topics and tutorials, as well as directed website learning via Blackboard. Regular on line access is required. Industry standard modelling softwares and methods will be provided and used.
