Many organisations in Malawi, both public and private, are in the process of introducing information and communication technologies (ICT) with the aim of enhancing or improving their operations. In terms of human capital, there is no reliable link between business and ICT professionals. In this ‘technological world’ there is a need to have some individuals at all management levels who are conversant with both business and ICT. Through this programme, the University intends to contribute to the solid training of professionals with knowledge and skills on the management of IT-supported business systems in any kind of organisation.
