Career Options
Individuals with a strong foundation in both technology and business are becoming increasingly sought-after by employers in all industries. Here are just a few examples of what careers are available to graduates of the BA (Hons) in Business Management (Business Technology) program.
Innovation Manager
Innovation managers are in charge of developing new products, services and processes. These professionals lead new projects and are, by default, curious. They will pull ideas from other industries and typically like to challenge the status quo. They are not fazed by failure and have good interpersonal skills to help the organization accept the project.
An innovation manager is creative with skills in research and analysis. Given changes to be made, they must also possess communication and interpersonal skills to lead projects and convince stakeholders.
Business Analyst
Business analysts identify business needs and find solutions to business-related challenges. They develop strategies, advise on policy, and consult on how to get the best returns from investments, such as IT systems or new technology.
Successful business analysts have strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. They are also detail-oriented, good communicators and technologically savvy.
Data Scientist
Data scientists analyze complex data, or “big data,” to provide meaningful information, synthesizing techniques from various fields, including machine learning, computer programming and signal processing. Data scientists tend to have expertise in one or more specific fields, and many work as part of a cross-disciplinary team.
A job in data science requires a combination of soft and technical skills. Successful candidates know at least one programming language, are familiar with machine learning and big data, and are capable of structured thinking.
Technology Consultant
Technology consultants combine design and planning skills with business and IT insight. Tech consultants must be aware of current technological trends, needs, and limitations. They are often brought in to provide outside expertise and project leadership so that companies can focus on day-to-day operations.
Consultants in this role must have strong communication skills, a solid understanding of current trends in technology and also be able to predict future developments.
Areas of Work
The BA (Hons) in Business Management (Business Technology) provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly shifting technological landscape. Graduates from this program will find that they have developed a valuable skillset that opens numerous avenues for employment, some of which we have presented here:
Database architects work with analysts and software designers to develop and manage electronic databases. They design databases to fulfill a business’s unique needs, encompassing anything from payroll to determining customer satisfaction. These databases could have thousands of users, making stable coding necessary. Database architects must understand both the current and potential future needs of their employers in order to create databases that can function on multiple systems in different areas. Additionally, they must schedule and perform necessary system maintenance, upgrades, and repairs.
Data analytics help businesses optimize performance by providing valuable insight into trends and improving efficiency. Through automated process and algorithms, raw data is transformed into organized information that companies can use to make better business decisions and monitor customer satisfaction. Data analytics also help businesses reduce costs through streamlining efficiency and storing large quantities of data. Successful implementation of data analytics can lead to a marked improvement in performance, goods, and services.
Business technology consultants advise their clients on how to use IT systems to achieve their business objectives. Their duties range from performing studies to making quality controls to designing and creating entire IT systems. Whether they work as part of a team or are independent contractors, many business technology consultants specialize in specific industries or types of clients. Business technology consultancies are an excellent option for businesses that do not need or want to employ a dedicated IT staff.
Commercial management of IT involves coordinating suppliers, contractors, and employees to ensure successful business operations and positive client-vendor relationships. A manager in this role sources external entities to provide IT services based on the business’s needs and capabilities. This can include outlining and designing IT services, contract negotiation and termination, and improving and maintaining relations between parties. Commercial IT management combines analytical business skills with project management, making it an excellent choice for people-oriented IT professionals.
