Course description

There are few organisations today, private and public, that are not somehow affected by digitalisation. Most of today’s managerial work requires knowledge and toolsets to manage the different aspects of the omnipresent reshaping of the organisational landscape that is digitalisation. Digitalisation, however, has different meanings for different stakeholders in any given organisation and it may span from automation to transformation of core processes. Digitalisation have the power to disrupt established business models and to create new, never before seen, business models. This course aims to provide an insight into the technological and managerial landscape that information technologies are building today. 

The course constitutes the second semester of the Bachelor's Programme in Design of Information Systems and is only offered to programme students.

The course is given during the Spring term and is offered in Swedish.

Course description

The course contains six parts:

  • Group Dynamics and Communication
  • Organisation, Business and IS
  • Project Management
  • IT Legislation
  • Interaction Design
  • Project Rapport

Group dynamics and communication deals with group psychology on both the general and individual level, and how this knowledge is used, both in group processes and own behaviour in interaction with others. This general knowledge in group psychology acquired during the course is intended to be relevant both for project work during the rest of the term and for future work in professional life.

Organisation, Business and IS deals with organisational structures and the link between the concept of organisational efficiency and strategy in organisations. In addition, IS and IT are treated from an organisational and business perspective.

Project Management deals with the management of IT projects. The sub-course covers knowledge management in projects, agile methods, and common challenges in IT projects. During the module you will gain knowledge of how to start, implement and report on projects and how to work with different roles in a project.

IT Legislation is carried out in cooperation with the Department of Business Law and deals with the laws that arise in connection with the use of information technology (IT) and how basic legal problem solving and argumentation is carried out in this area.

Interaction Design deals with how analyses of business user requirements can be developed and implemented. You will learn how to apply interaction design principles in the design of graphical user interfaces. Different methods and approaches are covered as well as how interaction design can contribute to better solutions.

IS Project, Written Assignment means that knowledge from the other modules will be used before and during a change process that includes the change and implementation of IS and subsequent changes to the organisation.

The course is part of the sixth semester of the Bachelor's Programme in Design of Information Systems.

The course is given during the Spring term and is offered in Swedish.

Course description

(in Swedish)

The project work is carried out during the last semester of the Bachelor's Programme in Design of Information Systems and entails that the students, in groups of four, shall carry out, document, and present an information systems project to an external problem owner. The project is rooted in a real situation with a concrete problem. You could say that the project groups will take on real consulting assignments. In this project the students should apply their previously acquired knowledge in the development of information systems (IS), project work, etc. The assignment can be an investigation, a design, an implementation, etc. The project should result in a report and project documentation that will be defended at a seminar. The examination takes into account the client's assessment of the project work and the results.

The course is part of the sixth semester of the Bachelor's Programme in Design of Information Systems.

The course is given during the Spring term and is offered in Swedish.

Course description

The Master Thesis involves independent work in teams of two students addressing a research problem. This is an independent piece of work, which means that the student-teams must themselves find a problem-area, they will not be provided with pre-defined problems. The problem-area must be relevant to informatics as a social science, but it may not be any kind of problem within the social sciences. Next the student-team must formulate a research-question and present a relevant theoretical framework, which provides the basis for planning and conducting an empirical investigation, and the student-team must also draw conclusions from the empirical investigation and the theoretical framework. Finally the investigation and the findings must be presented in a written thesis, which is examined at a seminar.

In your thesis you will use quantitative or qualitative approaches, or some combination of these. The course on Information Systems Research Methods provide you with the appropriate knowledge and tools.
