Digital technologies fundamentally transform how organizations
create value from business activities, processes, products, and
services. The financial sector is no exception it is one of the
most digitalized industries. Interestingly, the financial sector
was one of the most stable and conservative industries but now
faces dramatic changes. This course focuses on the new digital
reality that the financial industry faces, including the thousands
of FinTech startups that are challenging the stability of the
industry, the Internet giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, and
Alibaba that are rushing to claim a piece of the pie, the new
technologies that fundamentally transform banking processes, and
the regulatory changes that force the industry to open up. All
these changes must be understood to ensure a prosperous and healthy
financial sector.
This course will focus on how digital technologies are changing
the finance competition rules. Instead of competing on the scale
and fortified business positions, competition is turning to the
speed and novelty of digital innovations. Instead of competing only
as individual firms, companies compete in ecosystems and through
digital platforms. So, in this course, we cover how digitalization
transforms competition rules. We will discuss the role of FinTech
that carries this transformation and how companies in the financial
service must develop the means to compete on digital innovation.
Furthermore, this course will also revisit the basics of financial
industries, namely money and payments.
