Program Overview

Data-driven Organizations

The organizational use of digital technologies enables the generation, capture, and analysis of vast amounts of data, which is expected to have a significant impact on organizations' value creation capabilities. Not only are data being used to generate new business value, but they can also improve decision making, transform practice, and inform strategy. The course focuses on data as a fundamental building block of the modern organization and traces both their epistemic foundations and their socioeconomic relevance. By highlighting the interplay between contextual conditions, organizational capabilities and management, the course explores how organizations can systematically exploit and explore the potential of data.
