PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:
The purpose of the Bachelor of Business Informatics is to provide a foundational knowledge base for an interdisciplinary qualification that engages learners in deep learning in both combined fields of Business and Informatics study. Learners are trained to work as team members, solve problems, engage in analytical thinking, communicate professionally, and possess good negotiation skills to engage constructively at different levels of the organisational structure, including support teams, middle managers, and administrators in business and informatics from the perspective of innovation in business management, business information systems, business applications, business accounting, economics, business communication, and database management.

Qualifying learners will have integrated knowledge in the form of key terms, concepts, facts, principles, rules, theories and practices, and detailed knowledge applicable in the field of business management and business informatics. Qualifying learners will have an understanding and applicable knowledge of methods of business analysis, systems designs and development, and implementation of Information Technology (IT) solutions.

Upon completion of this qualification, qualifying learners will be able to:
  • Solve previously identified business problems and critically reflect on business challenges in both familiar and unfamiliar situations.
  • Apply the appropriate ethical code of conduct to ensure that decisions are made in the interest of the organisation, its stakeholders, and environmental sustainability.
  • Apply general management principles in the strategic planning process.

  • Use business informatics project management knowledge areas to plan, co-ordinate, and manage informatics projects and programmes within an organisation.

    The qualification is designed to help learners adapt to a business environment where different technologies are used to support business operations and digital transformation.
    Qualifying learners will be able to analyse the business environment and conditions, assess its current business vision, objectives, technology, and human capability, and recommend and lead the implementation of appropriate technology and business digitalization solutions that can support the organisation to achieve its objectives and remain competitive.

    Rationale:
    There is an urgent need in South Africa and worldwide for additional scientists and information technologists and the proportion of learners enrolled in science and technology qualifications in Higher Education should increase. The National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) III indicated the following skills are urgently needed in the economy of South Africa to meet the National Development Plan and National Growth Plan targets by 2030:
  • Managers: ICT Managers, IT Portfolio/Project Managers.
  • Professionals: ICT systems Coordination and ICT Project Management.

    These scares skills have been highlighted by combined work done by the following bodies and reported as such since 2010:
  • Report of the Joint Initiative on Priority Skills Acquisition (JIPSA) published by the Presidency in March 2010.
  • The Scarce and Pivotal Skills Lists (2013/2014) compiled by SETAs.
  • The Scarce Skills List compiled by the Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) (2013/2014) compiled by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), in August 2013.
  • The Human Resource Development Strategy for South Africa (2010) produced by the Human Resource Development Council of South Africa (HRDCSA).
  • A report, Job Opportunities and Unemployment in the South African Labour Market 2011-2012 (2013) produced by the Department of Labour.

    The National Development Plan (2011) asserts the important role of higher education in enhancing national economic competitiveness within a global knowledge-driven economy. That review foregrounds the social and public value of higher education, placing on it the responsibility for "providing equitable opportunities for learning and (self-) development; to be responsive to societal needs, producing relevant knowledge and socially committed graduates to contribute".

    The Bachelor of Business Informatics is an alternate qualification which focuses on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for school leavers seeking considerable knowledge in business management, technology and digitalisation and its impact on business and its operations. The purpose of the qualification is to develop hybrid practitioners with the knowledge and innovative skills in the use of technology embedded in business and management and the impact of digitalisation on business growth, stability, and competitiveness to improve services to the citizens and/or consumers.

    The qualification is designed to attract ICT practitioners in business and government who have no formal qualifications in either business management or the ICT field to obtain this knowledge and innovation skills as a formal qualification through part-time studies. Consultation was conducted with industry role players including IBM, Vodacom, Microsoft, Shoprite, Provincial Government, PetroSA, and Sanlam who are part of the industry advisory committee. This qualification was designed based on feedback, where the industry stated the required skills and knowledge, as well as a review of other global institutions of higher learning confirming the required knowledge and skills. The qualifying learner would be able to assist national and global organisations to assess their current situation, manage the IT project and propose solutions which shall enhance the organisation's economic and social stance. Graduates may benefit from the qualification in that they may be legible for professional member designation endorsed by The Institute of Information Technology Professionals South Africa (IITPSA).

    INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT
    The assessment policy indicates that the institution uses a continuous assessment of learners' progress, which explains that the assessment of progress occurs throughout a course of study with different types with both formative assessments (FA) and summative assessments (SA) included in the assessment strategy.

    Formative assessment (FA):
    The assessment policy includes the tasks intended for learning exercises such as quizzes, a draft of an essay or report in a writing process, or a 'mock exam' or as preparation for a summative assessment task. No marks are allocated to the formative assessment tasks as they are part of the learning exercise.

    Summative assessment (SA):
    Presentations, assignments, projects and reports, integrated projects, tests and written or oral examinations occur at the end of a section of work (not necessarily at the end of a semester or year).
    SA tasks assess learner attainment against outcomes; SA happens at times or has specific deadlines and the results of the SA task contribute to the learners' mark record.
    Summative assessments are aligned with professional/industry requirements (principle of constructive alignment).

    The assessment policy recommends that timely feedback on formative assessment tasks (e.g., comments on a report outline) should be given to learners as soon as possible to enable learners to use formative feedback/feed-forward in the summative assessment task.

    The qualification will also implement an integrated assessment strategy which cuts across a number of modules and is aimed at the holistic development of learners and contributes to learners in the field of study in terms of foundational, practical and reflexive competence. Integrated assessment in this qualification will take place at the exit year (3rd-year level) and learners will be assessed holistically by means of project reports, a portfolio of evidence and an oral presentation related to the needs and requirements of the industry.
