Aim of the course The course Digital Technologies and Data-Driven Business constitutes a core foundation course that provides the necessary understanding of digital technologies and the role of data in 21st century businesses and organizations. The course is an introductory level course.
Course content The growing phenomenon of digitalization brings about profound changes in society and in businesses. Digital technologies and the explosion of data are transforming virtually every aspect of how industries evolve, how businesses deliver value, and how consumers behave. This course investigates the link between the capabilities of digital technologies and the activities and objectives of business organizations. In the course, we examine the technological foundations (systems, software, and databases) of business organizations, and investigate how the capabilities and limitations of digital technologies shape opportunities for business value creation for organizations, entire industries, and society at large. To this effect, we focus on how to develop data-driven solutions in business, by providing skills of extracting value from data through data programming and data analytics. |
