Department of Information Systems

Research Report 2006
Head of Department: Kevin Johnston

Department Profile
This year 7 new PhD students registered and IS has a total of 20 registered Ph.D students. Nine new Masters students registered, and IS had a total of 17 of which 4 graduated in 2006.
The department is particular proud of its first NRF rated researcher, Associate Professor Irwin Brown. Two academics were promoted this year effective from 1 January 2007: Associate Professor Hart has been promoted to full Professor and Dr. Chigona has been promoted to Senior Lecturer.
Student research is both very prolific and of a consistently high standard, and students have been invited to several national and 5 international conferences.
Staff research continues to grow, with a steady increase in the number of peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles. Research in the Department is conducted on a wide variety of topics in Information Systems (IS) within commerce, industry and society generally. Our main research thrusts can be classified under these broad themes: IS/IT for national development; eCommerce; knowledge management; IS/IT management, planning and strategy; IS education and skills; and workgroups, teams and projects.
Staff investigate both technical and managerial aspects of IS and are especially concerned with topics of relevance to business and national goals. Much of the research is cross-disciplinary, involving elements of social science, computer science, management and commerce. There is a strong interest in our publications and research reports from both the academic and professional communities.

School of Management Studies

Research Report 2006

(Including Actuarial Science)
Head of School: Professor John Simpson
School Profile
The Business Science Section and Post Graduate Diplomas in Management in the School of Management Studies provide undergraduate introductory and advanced courses to honours level in management to students registered for the Business Science degree, and other degrees and postgraduate diplomas. Housed in the School are the Actuarial Science, Business Finance, Marketing and Organisational Psychology streams. Postgraduate diplomas in management are also offered by the School, in Marketing, Enterprise, Sport and Tourism Management. The School also offers management courses in general management, finance, human resource management, marketing, and industrial/organisational psychology to students from faculties outside the Commerce Faculty. Research is supervised at the honours, masters and doctoral levels in Management.
The Finance Section provides undergraduate courses in corporate finance, investments and international finance. Students receive training which allows them to enter either the financial services industry or the field of corporate financial management. Research at the postgraduate level is strongly encouraged.
The Organisational Psychology Section provides undergraduate courses in organisational psychology. At the postgraduate level it provides a Masters degree in Industrial Psychology, which could lead to professional registration. The Section has embarked on a PhD programme and aims to increase its current number (4) of PhD students. Research in the Section has been reorganised in the following ways:

  • Honours students do research within the confines of a signature theme selected by staff. Currently 9 groups of students are researching what motivates students and first-time employees in Finance, Information Systems, Accounting and Law.

  • A process of structured supervision and throughput has been implemented for Masters students in order to reduce throughput for a dissertation from 3.5 years to 1 year.

The Marketing Section provides undergraduate courses in marketing management, as well as more advanced courses in consumer behaviour, industrial, services and international marketing, marketing research, information technology & marketing and leisure & tourism marketing. Research is encouraged at the honours, masters and doctoral level. The UCT Unilever Institute of Strategic Marketing is housed in the Marketing Section. Its main purpose is to develop advanced and relevant marketing theory and information for the uniquely South African market place.
