Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
The increasing integration of digital technologies into the key
functions of businesses is leading to a paradigm shift. The
diffusion of digital technologies – such as Artificial
Intelligence, the Internet of Things, digital platforms, and
blockchain – is not anymore simply about providing efficiency gains
to traditional business processes, but has the potential of opening
up for the creation of new services, new business models, and
entire new industries.
This course focuses on the phenomenon of digitalization to
demonstrate how managers can draw on the novel ways in which
digitalization is transforming business. Students will be provided
with the tools to understand the transformative nature of the
digitalization phenomenon, and will draw on the analysis of
practical cases to formulate successful strategies enabled by
digitalization.
