    This qualification will prepare learners for specialised knowledge and skills in the field of Business and Information Administration. Qualifying learners will benefit from formal instruction comprising conceptual and contextual knowledge of work-directed theoretical knowledge in the study of Corporate Governance and Ethics and Global Business Innovations. Problem and project-based learning will be undertaken in Operations Management and Administration and a Research Project. Information technology knowledge and skills will be taught in Information and Knowledge Management, Data Analytics and Business Intelligence, and Advanced Topics in Business Information Systems within the fields of business and information, and administration. The subject, Research Project will ensure that graduates have undertaken research that comprises the inclusion of applied research and problem-solving in workplaces as they will undertake an integrated, inquiry-based research project based on real workplace problems.

    Rationale:
    The development of this qualification took into account the trends in the identity of the learners who will pursue the qualification. It responded appropriately to the needs of this contemporary learner in a dynamic workplace environment. The qualification has therefore been designed to meet learners who find themselves working in a professional demanding and continuously changing world, who do not require the traditional classroom-based lecture mode of instruction. These learners live and work in an era of emerging and new technology accessing the world with available online facilities and means. The design of the qualification in its delivery addresses these modern learners who find themselves applying knowledge and skills in a milieu of new and disruptive technology. Therefore, the qualification adopted a blended mode of delivery to allow for ease of access and to meet the needs of this modern learner. This is complemented by the sourcing and provision of appropriate academic material in various forms. It further entails employing a combination of dedicated contact time, online monitored and controlled teaching and learning interaction and opportunities designed within the dictates of institutional and student resources. Relevant research will be conducted culminating in the completion of a research project which will be industry related, pertinent and current.

    This qualification will promote employability and contribute to the economic and societal needs of the country. Qualifying learners will be empowered to apply for senior management positions that are in high demand. These management and senior management positions include positions such as office manager, data management manager, and operations manager. These positions in the fields of business and information administration across various sectors appear in the List of Occupations in High Demand (Government Gazette, 2018 No. 41728). The institution through the institutional resources will thoroughly market the new qualification to all relevant stakeholders to create awareness and attract suitable candidates with the intent of widening access.

    Qualifying learners will have the qualification to support their applications for more senior and managerial positions within the field of practice of business and information administration. Furthermore, they will benefit by being qualified to occupy senior positions such as Senior Manager for Administration, Senior Administrator, Office and Information Manager, Authority Manager, Senior Government Official, ICT Project Manager, Personnel/Human Resource Manager, Small Business Manager, Practice Manager, Supply and Distribution Manager, Sales Operations Executive, Product Manager, and Operations Manager in the fields of business and information administration. These positions all require common knowledge of information and knowledge management, operations management, and administration as well as corporate governance and ethics.

    The situational analysis comprised input from employers and the advisory board, qualifying learners, interns, learners, and academics. The employers and potential employers of graduates include large organisations such as the City of Cape Town, Liberty Life, Groote Schuur hospital and Themba Labs, and smaller companies such as K.B. & Associates, The Fundamentals Training Centre, Brian Williams Consultancy and Oracle.

    Integrated Assessment:
    The institutional Learner Management System will be used as a platform for formative and summative assessments as well as discussion forums. A variety of assessment methods such as online assessments, face-to-face presentations, case analyses and recommendations using a multimodal portfolio of evidence, such as blogs or e-portfolios, submission of strategic plans and research projects presented in a written and oral format will be used to accommodate learners with different learning styles. Creative problem-solving, critical thinking skills, collaboration, communicating resolutions effectively using verbal, non-verbal and digital forms of communication will be promoted. These strategies enable learners to synthesise knowledge and skills to an unstructured authentic problem by using workplace projects that will assess their holistic development of graduate attributes and will also be an indication of their ability to transition to the next stage of their career.

    Continuous assessments will be used including group projects, presentations, case studies, assignments and individual examinations to determine learners' abilities to engage critically with complex theories and thus develop critical thinking abilities that enable them to understand the complexities of the world.

    There is an appropriate balance between formative and summative assessments. During the process of teaching and learning formative assessments are used, that is, assessments used to inform teaching and learning, and that align with the levels of complexity of summative assessments. Formative assessments such as case studies, class activities, online and offline discussion forums, reflections on learning and feedback, presentations, self-reflection paragraphs, and class tests will take place. The aim of formative assessments is the development of learners' abilities, and it also provides them with opportunities to monitor their own progress.

    Formalised assessment is summative assessment. For example, online assessments; presentations; case analysis, assignments, portfolios, and various forms of research outputs are used to determine whether the outcomes of the subject and the exit level outcomes of the qualification has been achieved. Learners achieving less than 50% for a unit of learning and not reaching the learning outcomes are given one additional opportunity for improvement. For example, the resubmission of an assignment and where possible takes place before the commencement of the subsequent learning. The last learning unit includes a Final Integrated Summative Assessment (FISA) that determines whether the learning outcomes set for the subject have been achieved.

    Formative assessments will be assessed continuously while official summative tests will take place during the June and November assessment period which are internally and externally moderated. In the subject, Research Project, for example, a written report using Harvard referencing and individual presentations will take place as the final summative evaluation.

    Conclusion:
    The comparative analysis exercise revealed that most of these qualifications comprised content in Information Administration, Information Management, Human Resource/People Management, Corporate Finance, Management Perspectives and Practice, and Operations Management and Strategy. This has provided direction for the curriculum decisions taken for the development of the Postgraduate in Business and Information Administration which comprises the study of Information and Knowledge Management; Data Analytics and Business Intelligence; Corporate Governance and Ethics; Operations Management and Administration; Advanced Topics in Business Information Systems; Global Business Innovation; and a Research Project. The qualification compares constructively with international qualifications identified in the comparison exercise.

    This comparison has been instrumental in the development of the Postgraduate Diploma in Business and Information Administration as it has highlighted a significant gap in specific content on governance and ethics. It has also confirmed the significance of including a research project, content of business information systems, data analytics, business intelligence, knowledge management, operations management and administration, and global business innovations.
