Organizations may be regarded as ‘systems’, consisting of elements having relations that enable some primary transformation to take place. This primary transformation transforms inputs, like material, energy, data or clients, into outputs and by doing so, the system delivers a contribution to society that is valued by customers and other societal stakeholders.
This course aims to provide a systematic approach for understanding and modeling information and organizations, and how to use this knowledge for aligning business and IT in an enterprise. Besides that, the course will discuss the privacy and legal aspects related to information used in an organization.
