BUS5720 Corporate Groupware [Corporate Groupware]

Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

Minor changes to unit objectives and assessment (previously 3 assignments worth 15% each, now 2 assignments, assignment 1 worth 10%, assignment 2 worth 20%).The Bachelor of Business Systems Curriculum Committee and the degree's IBL (Industry Based Learning) sponsors have identified Groupware skills as a significant omission from the skill set of the degree's current graduates.Most of these graduates enter the corporate IT environment. Their lack of Groupware skills disadvantages them on two counts.Most modern corporations have a sophisticated Groupware environment that is both used and extended in-house. Many of the corporation's important documents such as, news bulletins, proformas, business and documentation procedures, proposal and presentation templates etc, are stored in a Groupware database. In short much of the corporate intelligence is only available to Groupware users. A graduate without Groupware user skills will need to negotiate a steep learning curve just to perform many of the tasks assigned to her or his business roleThe first tasks of many graduates in the corporate IT environment is to develop some small localised IT application. Increasingly the highest profile applications are proving to be Groupware applications. A graduate without Groupware developer skills cannot be considered for such high profile tasks.Finally the Groupware juggernaut has long since passed the high point of its hype cycle and has, for several years, been employed in stable, productive, real world use. De facto patterns of usage and development methods have emerged and the Groupware product marketplace has stabilised. It is therefore possible to construct appropriate, long-lived aims, objectives and a syllabus for a unit about corporate Groupware.
