CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    This course focuses on the rapid change from autonomous vehicles to Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things and everything in between that has been brought about by Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) over the past few years. We are now living during a turning point in society, when individuals, firms and societies are becoming rapidly digitized, and thanks to the exponential nature of change in ICT, these changes will only accelerate over time. The adoption of digital methods of doing business has become a prerequisite for success for firms in the digital age. Any firm that fails to respond appropriately to this paradigm shift will succumb to competition in the digital age. In this course, we explore how to manage and ride this change as individuals, as a firm or as a society. The course will address topics such as: Moore's Law and the second half of the chessboard; digitization and competitive advantage; infrastructure and e-commerce; cloud computing and Big Data; Internet of Things; artificial intelligence and the implications of all these changes in business and society.
