Seminar on Industry Digitalization
The digitalization of products and services is increasingly disrupting competition and the existing industry borders. Traditional physical product-based business models are being challenged by data-driven digital ecosystems that pursue new ways to increase end-customer value. Modern digital platforms and the use of real-time data enable a substantial leap in value – as already witnessed in numerous IoT (Internet of Things) applications for consumers. New IoT-enabled services extend a value offering from delivering products to using them in the most optimal way. Increased customer value is created with online services at the very moment when a consumer uses a product in that unique situation and environment
In the enterprise markets, a lack of common business rules for sharing data between enterprises has hindered a similar development in Industry IoT (IIoT) applications, although business opportunities with data-driven online services are evident. In addition, data security risks and business continuity requirements in mission critical processes can easily become barriers to extensive use of cross-company data. However, successful trials and pilots among forerunner enterprises and industry ecosystems do exist with promising results. There are industry ecosystems where digitalization is already mature enough to gain industry-wide tangible benefits, like telecom, banking, insurance, and media businesses. The utilization of digitalization is fast becoming essential for more traditional Finnish industries to increase competitiveness against their international rivals. The appearance of digitalization in everyday business can look very different in different sectors and related productivity benefits vary dramatically between them.
This course is to increase understanding and learn from Finnish companies how the ongoing digital transformation is shaping their industry and how new digital services are being developed based on latest technologies (5G, AI, machine learning, and AR/VR applications).
The course will be conducted as a combination of lectures and a student project on selected topics. The lectures will include both academic theories and practical experiences by guest speakers from Finnish industries. In the project, the students will provide a written summary of the selected topic including (1) a crisp academic analysis on what they have learned and (2) a high-level proposal on a transformational solution in selected industy. In the end of the course, students will have a short presentation to summarize the results of their project.
