Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

As digital innovations revolutionize industries, many companies struggle to figure out the changing terms of competition. We will examine earlier digital transformations of industries such as books, music, software, telecommunications, and newspapers to assess the potential impact of Internet of Things, 5G networks, and the fourth industrial revolution. Students will critically evaluate the nature of data and information as economic goods; the role of communication networks in the economy; the industrial impact of digitization, including data, analytics, and AI; the platformization of markets; and new business models and business opportunities.
