- COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course provides insight into the emergence of digital business, key concepts, technologies, and strategic organization. Students will develop a strategic plan for a “traditional” business which could adopt digital technologies and strategies, and will present the plan as a business pitch. This course will be of particular interest to students planning on working in digital businesses, or working in management consultancies. In this course, digital business is confluence of enterprise systems, mobile systems, the Internet and analytics in a data-intensive environment that underpins current approaches to the creation, implementation, delivery and evolution of products, processes, services and experiences. The philosophy of the course will be to integrate real world understandings with those more theoretical ideas found in the Information Systems literature, and to use key analytical templates to throw light on the practice and experience of organizing and managing for digital business.
