EXCELLENCE
Focuses on achieving

support of a firm’s major
business processes, such as
marketing and sales,
purchasing, and manufacturing
processes. This requires a
business perspective (rather
than a technical perspective)
on enterprise systems and
e-business technologies such as
ERP, SCM, CRM, and EDI, their
business value and risk, and
their implementation. The
students will learn how to
document, analyze, improve and
redesign complex business
processes and IT systems using
state of the art business
process modeling tools and
techniques. The students will
also learn how to justify and
manage the implementation of
new processes and IT systems.
