    Problems and questions

    Future organizations are digital. Becoming a digital mature company is challenging and requires the involvement of managers in all areas and levels. In this course, we address topics in the intersection between technology and business, asking questions such as:

    • How can digital technology be utilized to improve business processes?
    • How can digitalization projects be organized and managed?
    • How can organizations successfully develop and implement a digital strategy?
    • How can organizations develop digital competences and skills, and a digital culture
    • What does the future workplace look like?

    Theories and teaching methods

    In order to analyze the above questions, we draw on theories and methods from several areas, such as strategy, management, and information systems. We use different forms of learning activities, such as class discussions, cases, videos, lectures, and guest lectures.
