One of the graduates of Digital Business Master Class Spring 2021 is Kevin Campbell
Digital Business Master Class is an interactive and fast-paced graduate-level course focusing on digital technologies as tools for building businesses. During the Master Class, students learn how companies transform their processes and systems by implementing digital technologies. Concepts covered include platforms and ecosystems, business design thinking, data-driven marketing, strategic management of technological innovation, data-intensive business and AI ethics.
Challenge-based learning is an integral part of the Master Class. Students work on company projects in international and multidisciplinary teams. The projects are done in collaboration with partner companies, ensuring the themes are relevant to the current business environment.
In addition to intensive lecture weeks, the course includes independent pre- and post-work periods. Learning experiences range from insightful discussions in class to multidisciplinary teamwork, independent research and corporate collaboration.
The course includes three phases: self-paced pre-work and post-work and two intensive weeks of lectures and project work in teams.
