Emerging technologies & ecosystems

Yksittäinen kurssi

The course introduces the students to emerging technologies, their characteristics, and their potential to create new business and shape markets.

During the course, the students learn about disruptive contexts in which technology spurs development, such as wireless communication technologies (5G, 6G), the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning, autonomous solutions, as well as different kinds of smart environments (smart grid, smart agriculture, smart cities etc.) and trends promising new business models, such as space travel.

For emerging technologies to succeed, firms engage in business ecosystems and build platforms for navigating digital disruption. The course introduces the students to the concept of business ecosystems and their strategic dimensions related to emerging technologies.

From a research method perspective, the course introduces the students to future studies, technology foresight and trend spotting. During the course, students deepen their knowledge of a selected emerging technology by collecting and analysing empirical data, showcasing the potential future impact of the emerging technology and implications for marketing and/or markets.
