UCBS7040 Information Management Assessment - University of Cumbria
Assessment - 4,500 words
For all questions below, "an organisation of your choice" ideally means "your organisation", an organisation you are currently working with/for, or have done so in the recent past. This will allow you to develop a much more critical analysis of internal processes and characteristics of the organisation. You are specifically asked NOT to discuss Apple, Google, Amazon, Zara, Walmart, etc., unless you work there
Questions:
1. Conduct a literature review that critically discusses the concepts of
a. Information Governance
b. Information Security
and their importance in information management. Find and discuss relevant literature (peer- reviewed literature is preferred, such as journal articles, conference articles, with books, white papers, practitioner literature, and blog articles having a little less weight).
2. After reading the Procter and Gamble case study (Unit 2), critically discuss the role and responsibilities of senior leadership in information governance in the context of Procter and Gamble.
3. In an organisation of your choice, perform a critical analysis of their use of information systems and information technology (including cloud services and social media) and how this impacts on staff development, effective flows of communication, and decision making in the organisation.
4. Building on your analysis from question #3, critically evaluate possible improvements to the organisation's use of information systems with emphasis on staff development in line with organisational goals, effective flows of communication, and decision making in the organisation.
5. Critically analyse the importance of security in information management in your organisation in particular
Interim Assignment
The Interim assignment requires you to submit, by the end of Unit 3, a draft of the final assessment to Turnitin. Your draft will not be assessed, and it will only cover topics covered in the first three units - we suggest by that time you should have roughly a 1500 to 2000 words paper.
Your paper must have a clear structure and must include:
• Cover page (an example is available to you in Induction/Unit 4)
• Abstract (no more than 150 words in a single paragraph)
• Table of contents (Table of tables/figures if necessary)
• A subsection for each of the five questions of the assessment - no more than 4500 words in total
• References (or Bibliography) - at Master level you must use in-text citations to support your arguments and any work cited must appear in the References list at the end of the work
