Learning outcomes
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.
