95422: Managing Digital Transformation

Semester: Spring

The goal of the course is to integrate technological and managerial aspects of information technology. Information and communication technologies play multiple roles within businesses, organizations, industries, and societies. Successful efforts at digitization must keep both technological and managerial perspectives in mind. Using a mix of managerial theory and case analysis, this course will study how the deployment of information technology changes interactions and processes within organizations, across organizations, within industries, and across society. The case analyses will require students to engage in both technical and managerial problem solving. The technical component of the analysis requires students to understand the technology for the problems highlighted in the case. The managerial component of the analysis requires students to analyze the business value and managerial impact of technology, and to address the change management issues that arise in implementing any digital transformation initiative.
