Paper IV (Elective) : Strategic IT Management
The syllabus for the subject is not covered in any of the seven references mentioned in
the syllabus. However almost entire syllabus is covered in another good book Strategic
Management : Concepts and Cases by Thompson. from Tata Mcgraw Hill. It was
decided that the scope and limitations fall within the following chapters of the book and
hence it should be adopted as a single book for covering the curriculum.
Since Case studies in the subject are very large and hence cannot be asked in the theory
paper. However a case study for 25 marks should be covered as a part of internal
assessment for which books mentioned in the syllabus could be refered.
B) Analysis :
Problem Definition, Solutions Provided, Charts, Diagrams : 50 marks
Planning and Methodology, etc.
For Viva Voce of the Project, the 100 marks distribution could be considered as per the
following four heads.
NOTE :
1. Both the Project Report assessment and Viva Voce of the Project is to be
accessed jointly by both the Internal Examiner (appointed by the University) and
the External Examiner.
2. No candidate would be allowed to appear for the Project Examination without
duly certified Project Report (his or her own copy).
3. Each student would be accessed for a maximum duration of around 30 mins,
during which for around 15 minutes or so, he is expected to give a demonstration
of the working project. The later 15 minutes would be devoted to assessment of
report and viva-voce.
