Course Description

The new generation business models are built using digital technologies such as Cloud, AI, IoT, Big Data, Data Analytics and Mobility; In this course, we would focus on these building blocks that are essential for today’s business. The idea is to do an extensive explorative study to understand how these digital technologies work, how these technologies have evolved so far, what are the components of these technologies, what are the benefits, and why it is necessary to understand how these technologies work together in building customer value propositions.

Course Outcomes & Learning levels

After completion of the course the students will be able to:

1. Analyze digital technologies and digital business models.
2. Evaluate and assess various options/ providers for digital technologies such as cloud, mobility, IoT and Analytics, and also get an overall idea on the fundamental architecture of those solutions.
3. Appraise the significance of governance on the usage of digital technologies such as cloud computing, mobility and IoT and how organizations could build value propositions using these technologies (looking into the internal aspects).
4. Formulate typical use-cases for digital technologies such as Bid Data, IoT, Cloud computing, AI and Analytics, that would help them conceptualize ideal solutions in similar situations (looking into the external/customer – facing aspects).

Evaluation Pattern

* Based on assignments / Tests / Quizzes / Case Studies / Projects / Term paper / Field visit report.

Cases used for this course:

1. Most of the cases selected for the classroom exercises and discussions are from the text book
2. Any other external cases would be provided as needed
3. Any materials used for this course – that are not part of the text book, would be shared with the students.
