Why choose IMMIT?
Competencies for clear business demand
Information and information technology (IT) are increasingly an integral part of products and services as well as the foundation of business processes. Organisations must know how to make the right choices with respect to new IT systems and at the same time, ensure that existing business processes continue to receive a high quality service from IT. This tight link between IT and organizational processes means that the IT department is not alone in its responsibility for the effective use of information and IT. Getting more value from IT is an increasingly important organisational competency.
The IMMIT is Master’s program designed to address these new Information & Management challenges.
Challenging career options
IMMIT provides the latest knowledge on these challenges and contributes to develop the organizational competencies required to respond to them, in an international context. The program is designed to prepare students with a background (bachelor) in either business and/or information technology / computer science to become “hybrid” managers at the interface between Information Systems (IS) and business functions within an increasingly international business context, for example:
• Manager of international IS projects: e.g., deploying global ERP systems
• IS management positions, e.g. Chief Information Officers (CIO), IT managers, Information Manager
• Business analyst /Designer of systems to support transnational operations
• IS strategy consultant in internationally operating companies
• Manager of IT Offshore Outsourcing
• IT Entrepreneur
In today’s globalised business environment, the effective management of transnational operations is a key imperative. Consequently, these new hybrid managers will need to master global operations. IMMIT will prepare candidates to understand the issues and to find the solutions that are needed to effectively design, deploy and manage the necessary transnational operations.
Networking in a multicultural environment
One uniqueness of the program is that all participants form are gathered in a cohort, i.e. the same group of students start and finish the program together. Thus, students develop strong links with one another, a common identity, and an effective alumni network that is useful to their future career. An advantage of the cohort experience and program mobility is that participants develop the awareness to cultural diversity and necessary cross-cultural management skills essential to enable effectively the design and deployment of systems internationally. In addition to the contribution provided by Third-Country Scholars, Executives from several European Firms contribute to IMMIT as guest speakers at the three universities and thus reinforce the cross-cultural aspects of the programme.
