Digital Transformation (DT or DX) is a trendy topic and multi-level phenomenon not limited to its necessary component of digitization defined as the conversion of analogue to digital information. In its broadest definition, DT relates to the change associated with the application of digital technology in all aspects of human society. People envision smart cities and build smart factories (Industry 4.0) by introducing, for example, automation, the Internet of Things, robotics, 3D printing, cloud computing, big data analytics (datafication), and artificial intelligence (AI). How can firms successfully manage DT and benefit from a global paradigm shift towards open and shared innovation? The course of “DT” illuminates advanced topics of digital challenges within and between organizations. Students will learn about essential theories and concepts of open innovation to understand the context and “bigger picture” of DT in our society. Students will learn about the DT of various industries, unique characteristics of digital platforms, and digital infrastructures to understand how a firm must adapt its digital strategy to maintain competitive in a digital world. From a practical point of view, students will learn about and experiment with emerging digital tools (e.g., ChatGPT). The five interactive sessions combine elements of traditional lectures coupled with quizzes, group tasks, case studies, literature reviews, presentations, and in-depth discussions. By the end of this course, students will gain a deeper understanding of DT and its future challenges related to responsible and ethical AI for managerial decision making in today’s global economy characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). |

| Lehr-/Lerndesign: | ||||||||||||
The course builds on a variety of teaching methods including traditional lectures, literature reviews, in-class discussions, case studies, reading assignments, group assignments and presentations of group work. The lecture supports self-learning and team learning objectives. Students will acquire theoretical know-what related to the subject of digital transformation, as well as practical know-how related to group presentations in collaborative-competitive scenarios. The course provides an up-to-date literature review of relevant journal articles and does not closely follow any specific textbook on digital transformation. The two referenced textbooks below provide a good introduction and supplementary material. In addition, all referenced course materials will be accessible for revision of individual sessions and in preparation of the final exam. The use of AI-based software for text generation, creation of presentations, and writing support (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, SlidesGPT or Grammarly) is explicitly allowed but must be indicated. |
