Course content and structure

The course offers an introduction to the most significant issues about the regulation and governance of digital business. It provides an encompassing and overall view about key aspects that regulate and govern the context in which businesses develop digital solutions and the context in which digital-based new business models operate. In so doing, the course develops the analytical skills of the students in terms of understanding, describing, and explaining the relevance of these different aspects of regulation and governance of digital matters, as an essential context for digital business management. The course will deal, among others, with issues like: data privacy regulations and compliance, digital business and competition regulations, global Internet governance, digital infrastructure, public policies fostering digital transformation, public and private dimensions of cybersecurity, and ethics and responsibility in the digital era.

Description of the teaching methods
The course combines lectures based on the curriculum of the course, with the use of case method teaching, and the development of specific workshops that focus on particularly relevant and contemporary topics.
Feedback during the teaching period
There will be many different forms of feed-back to the students during the course and after it. The teacher will always be available during office hours, to give feed-back or answer questions from students. The lectures will be interactive and participatory and students will get response from the teacher to their questions, remarks or discussions. The teacher will make use of blended learning techniques in order to give concrete feed-back to the students (f.ex. using IT-tools like Socrative during or after lectures). In the sessions dedicated to the case method, the students will get feed-back in the plenary. After the course is finished, the course coordinator will give collective feed-back to the students about their exam assignments.
