Objectives (Learning Outcome): Students will learn the basics of digital transformation and be able to understand basic concepts of networking and analyse them in relation to business areas. Furthermore, they should be familiar with newer technologies (e.g. Big Data, AI, Cloud and Augmented Reality).
The students are familiar with the changes from traditional organisational forms that are associated with a digital transformation. They understand that the competence requirements for employees in the world of work are changing as a result. They are aware of the importance of corporate culture in this context and that employee management in a digitally networked world is subject to other design requirements. They know the changed communication patterns across hierarchical levels. They understand the benefits of modern organisations and the associated necessary changes. In the section Challenges in Digital Transformation, students gain an understanding of the risks of digital transformation in
terms of changes in communication and culture within the company. Likewise, the potential conflicts between management and employees are recognised. In addition, the use of data in the digital age represents a decisive guarantee of success. For data-driven businesses, data protection must be taken into account early on in the transformation process.
