MBE 560: Informatics & Digitalization

This is an overview course to prepare the general manager to be more effective in dealing (both strategically and organizationally) with the digital transformation of the global enterprise and its ecosystem of partnerships and suppliers. It is about the organizational transformation that takes place when any company wants to or needs to take a part of its business online and to “go digital.” Mastering the concepts, practices, and technologies of digital transformation is a critical skill for line managers in any area of business. Furthermore, the global dimension is becoming more critical as digital technologies and broadband networks change the speed and global reach by which enterprises can provide their services, partner with others, source their products, and enter remote markets. Additionally, the course explores various concepts related to informatics such as cyber security, database management, data storage and related issues.
