【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
This course aims at helping students to learn the confluence of major technological forces--cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things--in driving a new digital society. In doing so, students will understand how digital-age companies such as Amazon, Google, Netflix, and Spotify are creating whole new industries and business models.

【到達目標 / Goal】
Students will understand the role of digital technologies in determining the capabilities of both incumbents and digital-born companies. To do so, students will learn how companies have transformed their business models and how they have embedded new technologies in their organizational fabric. This will be covered from the era of post-industrial society to the digital society.
Also, using multiple case studies, students will be able to explore and analyze how specific organizations have led their own digital transformation.

【授業の進め方と方法 / Method(s)】 (学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )
This course will proceed with lectures, readings, group presentations, and group discussion. Students are required to read each chapter of a textbook in advance that will be covered during the class and submit a summary of it. After partial lectures from an instructor, students will participate in group presentations and subsequent discussions. The subject of group presentations will be divided into two types -- (1) the content of each chapter based on rigorous understanding, (2) case studies of the modern companies that can deepen understandings of each chapter and develop students' own critical perspective on the cases.
At the beginning of class, feedback for the previous class is given using some comments from submitted weekly papers.
