Course Description:
The digital age brings about many changes that challenge our understanding of how firms operate and create value. This course thus focuses on the properties and potentials of emerging digital technologies for value creation for businesses. It explores properties of digital technology, different types of digital innovations, different models of organizing and creating value from digital innovation, as well as their implications for organizations and societies. More specifically, in this course, we will focus on three key issues: First we will review some major “emerging” digital technologies. Then we explore platforms and ecosystems as two important models for organizing & enabling digital innovation. Finally, we dive into the broader implications of emerging technologies for organizations and society, including their unintended consequences. In a course-long group project, students will devise platform- or ecosystem-based digital initiatives that leverage an emerging technology to create value for a legacy firm or a start-up.
