Objectives of the Course
The objective of the "Digital Transformation"course is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the historical development of digital technologies and their impact on societal transformations. This course not only explores what new technologies are but also examines in depth their practical applications in the business world and across various sectors (such as media, logistics, and human resources)—including technologies like Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. The program aims to help students understand the factors contributing to success and failure in digital transformation processes, the obstacles these processes face, and the role of management. Finally, by focusing on future learning experiences and the social implications of digital transformation, the course aims to prepare students for the rapidly changing digital world and the working conditions of the future.
