Synopsis

This course covers some key issues for networks and management in the field of data communications and telecommunications, under three broad headings: data communications and telecommunications technology, using data communications and telecommunications for competitive gain, and the role of management in telecommunications planning. Whilst no course in data communications and telecommunications can be remote from the technology, each issue is viewed from a management point of view (strategic, tactical, operational) rather than an engineering or technical one.
