BUS 473 is a core course within the Operations Management concentrati on in the Beedie School of Business. Currently it is not a prerequisite fo r BUS 474, which leads to students taking BUS 474 before BUS 473 creating a gap in knowledge. Having BUS 473 as a prerequisite for BUS 474 will ensure students will have the foundational knowledge required for BUS 474 in order to go further in depth.

Course Change: BUS 439 Prerequisite Amendment
June 11 , 2015
The Becdie School of Business requests the amendment of the prerequisi te change for BUS 439 - Advanced Decision Making that was brought before SCUS in May 2015. The modification to the prerequis ite is in respect to the inclus ion of BUS 343 - Introduction to Marketing, which should have been BUS 345 - Marketing Research.
This prerequisite change is reflective of the recent Senate approved changes to the Certificate in Business Analytics and Decision Making, for which BUS 439 is the capstone. These changes impact students' progress ion toward the capstone course, as students w ill now have the ability to take either BUS 345 or BUS 440. Therefore, this change should be reflected in the prerequisites of the capstone as well.

Structured query language is primarily used for all the above data management activities.
PREREQUISITE Docs this course replicate 1he content of a previously approved course to such an extent that students should not receive credit for both courses?
If so. this should be noted in the prerequisite.
FROM: TO :
LEARNING OUTCOMES
To design and manage software databases that: A) enable capture of raw data and reporting of lower-level transactions, typically by middle managers B) expedite business-decision making by aggregating large quantities of data, typically by top managers
RATIONALE
The Beedie School of Business proposes the change of name from "Data Management and IS Audit" to "Business Data Management". The course has undergone realignment. The topic of IT Auditing, which was intended to serve a segment of the Accounting students population, apart from MIS majors, is no longer a part of this course. Instead, the course is focussed solely on the technical aspects of digital business databases and their management. In addition to being an elective for MIS majors, this course serves two undergraduate certificates, neither of which are related to IT auditing: i) Business Technology Management . ii) Business Analytics and Decision-Making.
