An essential skill for an IT manager is the ability to keep up-to-date with emerging technologies, and be able to evaluate the significance of these technologies to their organisation's business activities.

课程评论

这门课内容和5990差不多都很宽泛，文科类型。作业就是2个assignment 有期中考试。学生分组对一个创新项目进行研究和分析，记得多引用文献，注意论文格式和排版。找到靠谱的队友至关重要。期中考试和期末考试的形式均为简答题，期中考试居然还有口试的部分，和老师面对面5分钟的口语考试，注意：绝对不要迟交作业。
