This course will focus on the intersection of Information Technology and Business. Students will develop a basic understanding of modern technologies including Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things. The course emphasis will be on how businesses are leveraging these technologies to innovate: creating new customer experiences (on-line shopping), improving operational efficiencies (logistics track & trace), and developing new business models (ride-share applications). The course will also utilize a “hands-on” experiential workshop to learn the “Design Thinking” methodology that organizations leverage to create innovative, user-centric products and processes.
