Emerging technology adoption and use

Content:

1. The principles of information systems management
2. Emerging technologies
3. Technology adoption and use
4. Group assignment to analyse the adoption and/or use of a particular emerging technology in a specific setting with a specific lens

After the course, the students

• understand the effects of emerging technology (e.g. information systems) on individuals, organisations and societies.
• can critically assess and identify characteristics of a particular technology (e.g. virtual reality), study its adoption and use in a particular setting (e.g. in manufacturing industry), with a particular lens (e.g. with a management theory to explain the influencing factors to its use).
• can critically assess how the emerging technology can facilitate change in behavior and processes.
• can apply their knowledge of emerging information systems phenomena to overcome a specific open-ended problem.

Course requirements:

Attending 50 % of the lectures, successfully completing 1) three lecture diary reports (individual assignment) and 2) the course exercise (group assignment).
