This subject deals with information systems in their organisational context. The effects of information systems on society, organisations and individuals are discussed. Examples from typical organisations are used to illustrate information systems concepts. Techniques for analysing and describing user requirements are introduced.

Throughout the subject there is an emphasis on human activities, the importance of the user in the analysis phase and the usability of systems. Another theme is communication skills, i.e. the ability of the analyst and designer of an information system to interview, write reports and manuals, design efficient and effective interfaces and communicate their design ideas to others.
