INTB 6249 — Digitization of International Business
3 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: ThBostonHybrid
Exposes students to the opportunities and challenges that digitalization presents for the core tenets and managerial practices of international business. New digital technologies have given rise to digitally born companies that internationalize through online platforms at an exponential pace. Companies from unrelated industries that may have traditionally not competed against each other now co-create value on digital platform ecosystems. Countries are increasingly implementing policies that aim to bridge the digital divide and alleviate poverty. A darker side of digitalization has also emerged. While some countries push for a global and open internet infrastructure, others engage in digital protectionism. Artificial intelligence can further be abused for digital authoritarianism purposes. Data privacy breaches are also rising globally. Examines how companies, industries, and governments should respond.
