Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

Οι αναδυόμενες τεχνολογίες έχουν βαθύ αντίκτυπο στις επιχειρήσεις, καθώς άτομα και οργανισμοί έρχονται αντιμέτωποι με την αλλαγή και την καινοτομία. Ωστόσο, το πώς μια επιχείρηση μπορεί να επωφεληθεί πλήρως από αυτές τις αλλαγές δεν είναι πάντα σαφές. Η χρήση του διαδικτύου, των εφαρμογών, του χώρου αποθήκευσης cloud, του GPS και των συσκευών που είναι συνδεδεμένες στο Διαδίκτυο έχει αλλάξει τον τρόπο που ζούμε, μαθαίνουμε, παίζουμε και αλληλοεπιδρούμε. Ωστόσο, αυτές οι αλλαγές άλλαξαν επίσης τον τρόπο λειτουργίας των επιχειρήσεων, τον τρόπο που συμπεριφέρονται οι καταναλωτές και τον τρόπο που εφαρμόζεται η επιχειρηματική στρατηγική.  Αυτό το μάθημα στοχεύει να σε εξοπλίσει με τις δεξιότητες που απαιτούνται για τη δημιουργία ψηφιακού ανταγωνιστικού πλεονεκτήματος σε έναν ταχέως μεταβαλλόμενο κόσμο. Οι κανόνες των επιχειρήσεων έχουν αλλάξει και αναζητούν νέους τρόπους για να αποκτήσουν ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα. Αυτοί οι νέοι κανόνες καθιστούν απαραίτητο για τις εταιρείες να επανεξετάσουν τέσσερις θεμελιώδεις πτυχές της επιχείρησής τους για να ευδοκιμήσουν στην ψηφιακή εποχή – τη στρατηγική, την αλυσίδα αξίας, την πελατειακή δέσμευση και τη δομή του οργανισμού τους.
