Abstract

This integration module links technical understanding of technologywith business strategy based on a set of case studies from practice.

Objective

Participants will explore how new information technologies change different aspects of a business, and learn how to evaluate specific risks, costs, and benefits of such technologies.

Content

The module will shed light on success factors and common pitfalls when implementing new technologies and respective business changes, and it will specifically address the communication between technical experts and business management. The studied cases are currently planned to focus on artificial intelligence, IoT including edge and cloud computing, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, and cybersecurity and data protection regulations (subject to change).
