INFORMATION RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

LECTURER: SAMUEL ODOYO N.; PHD CAND

WELCOME NOTE

Dear Student,

Welcome to to the Information Resource Management (IRM) course BIT2426.  IRM is a broad term in IT that refers to the management of records or information or data sets as a resource. This can relate to either business or government goals and objectives. Information resource management involves identifying data as an asset, categorizing it and providing various types of active management. Experts describe IRM as the process of managing the life cycle of data sets, from their creation to their use in IT architectures, and on to archiving and eventual destruction of non-permanent data. The term IRM can refer to either software resources, physical supplies and materials, or personnel involved in managing information at any stage of use. 

The focus of this course shall be in three main areas of IRM, namely:

1) identification of information sources,
(2) type and value of information they provide, and
(3) ways of classification, valuation, processing, and storage of that information.

The  program shall be conducted in Blended Model that entails both Face-to-Face and eLearning mode. Throughout the course, the students shall receive their eNotes as well as undertake weekly graded assignments,  and a continuous assessment test (CAT) in week seven. Then finally, the end of semester exam after week 14. The lecturer  shall provide the students with the course eResources link, and any suitable reference guide to facilitate your learning.

This course provides an introduction to public relations. The primary purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the basic concepts and principles of effective public relations. To attain knowledge and understanding of the following central concepts:

1. Role and functions of public relations in an industrialized society
2. Concepts of public relations, audience analyses, and persuasion
3. The basic process of public relations—research, planning, communication, Evaluation—and the use of communication strategies to achieve organizational objectives
4. Understanding of public relations activities in firms, corporations, social agencies, trade, organizations, government, education, not-for-profits and sports and entertainment.

This course will focus on key elements of crisis communication and management – before, during and after a crisis. The necessity for effective crisis management is far much important during this century as companies/organizations are under global scrutiny and attack. The structure of the course will reflect the crisis management process: detection, prevention/preparation, containment, recovery and learning. Emphasis will be placed on practical application of crisis communications theory, with copious use of real-life case studies.
