Digital Technology Entrepreneurship and Management

Description

This course offers the fundaments of digital entrepreneurship and the management of emerging digital technologies. In this course, participants choose an upcoming digital technology of their interest and assess it with different methods from multiple angles to evaluate its ability to disrupt an industry or market. This course helps participants prepare for various career paths, from launching their own product/service as an entrepreneur to making informed technology adoption and rejection decisions as an intrapreneur.

Throughout the course, participants will learn to distinguish between emerging and disruptive technologies, learn about influential dynamics such as innovation diffusion, hypes and emotions, develop the methodical competencies to assess and evaluate an emerging technology in an environment of high information asymmetry and learn how to leverage the potential of digital innovations with an adapted digital business plan.
