The module aims to introduce students to the way in which legal systems work, to develop an understanding of the main sources of law and the procedures involved in creating law. It aims to develop legal skills including the analysis of legal problems
On successful completion of this module you will:;
1 x 2 hour lecture per week; 1 x 1 hour seminar per week
The Legal System:An introduction to the English legal system, with particular reference to how the law is made and how legal disputes are resolved; Business Transactions: An introduction to the formation of contracts, with particular reference to the importance of contract formation in the world of business; This module is worth 12 Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) points.
Business processes, policies or work practices within modern organisations are now so fundamentally intertwined with the information technology systems which underpin them, that any significant effort to improve business processes or practices inevitably involves the development/acquisition of new IT tools or functionality. The concept of 'business information systems' central to this module emphasises this integration between business activity and information systems - between change/improvement in work practices and the creation of new (or modification of existing) information systems. This module is concerned with successfully managing the adoption and implementation of business information systems in organisations.
There are no formal pre-requisites for this module. However it complements/extends the knowledge that students acquire in the IB242 Foundation of Information Systems module (while IB242 addresses the general role or nature of IS applications in organisations, this module deals specifically with method and processes of adopting and implementing new information systems in business organisations).
By the end of the you should be able to:
1 x 2 hour lecture per week; 1 x 1 hour seminar per week
History and perspectives on business information systems development;; Alternative development methodologies for developing business information systems e.g. the traditional or waterfall model, contemporary approaches, rapid application development, participative design, prototyping technique, modular or component based development, end-user computing;; Phases in implementation and management of IS - a process overview;; Techniques for requirements-analysis and planning/scheduling of IS projects;; Risk management;; Outsourcing strategies;; Global IS development & management.
On successful completion of this module you will:;
- Have developed an understanding of the way in which legal systems work, the main sources of law and the procedures involved in creating law, the hierarchy of the court systems and the importance of the doctrine of stare decisis.
- Understand the basic concepts and principles of contract law and the importance in business of contract formation, discharge and remedies.
- Have developed legal skills including analysis of legal problems, and problem-solving techniques which can be applied to analyse a range of hypothetical problems.
- Have gained experience in preparing and presenting legal arguments.
- Have developed an ability to evaluate and criticise legal principles.

Business Systems Development
Business processes, policies or work practices within modern organisations are now so fundamentally intertwined with the information technology systems which underpin them, that any significant effort to improve business processes or practices inevitably involves the development/acquisition of new IT tools or functionality.

By the end of the you should be able to:
- Understand how business information systems are developed and how various development methodologies and approaches may be adopted for this purpose
- Understand techniques for requirements-analysis and planning/scheduling of IS projects
- Understand critical issues in IS adoption, such as project risks, outsourcing and globalisation. Be able to identify these issues and deal with them
- Apply appropriate techniques in the planning and implementation of IS projects
- Demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate contemporary issues in this topic area, using relevant academic and practitioner literature.
- Demonstrate knowledge of established methodology and principles for achieving the successful development or acquisition of information systems.
- Understand research management issues and considerations pertaining to the adoption of enterprise IS systems, which require 'hybrid' understanding of both the organisational and technical components of business processes.
