BUSBIS 1660 - DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Disruptive technologies refer to technological advancements that overturn established business methods and practices. The diffusion of disruptive technologies in an industry prompts a new competitive race among the firms in the industry, resulting in the rise of new firms, demise of mature firms, and/or a reshuffle of leaders and laggards in the industry. In this course, we'll learn about the business and technological conditions in which disruptive innovation materializes, examine historical advancements in technologies that have disrupted industries, survey emerging technologies, such as cryptocurrencies, distributed ledgers, and robotics enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and investigate both the designs and applications of these emerging technologies for creating business value. Through lectures, case discussions, and hands-on projects, students will develop an appreciation of the emerging disruptive technologies and their applications in business. Students will also work in teams to participate in a business plan development exercise that leverages an emerging disruptive technology.
