Contents and structure

The course deals with digitalization and conversion and change from a holistic perspective.

Digitization is not limited to being something that happens in an industry or around a specific technology, it is processes that intervene in large parts of society. Digitalization processes take place in most arenas and affect employees, users and customers in private and public business, working life and society. Digitalization entails opportunities and has consequences. Digitalization has a much broader scope than the introduction of new technology.
