課程概述

This course will be of special interest to students who are planning on founding startups or joining startups in the near future. In addition, students who will be taking over family businesses would also find this course interesting as it covers how to future-proof and digitize traditional businesses. This course will also help students become more aware of relevant managerial and regulatory challenges of running a business in the contemporary online world.
The course begins by looking at some of the key theoretical concepts surrounding the need for digital innovation, the advantages it brings to competitiveness, and the risks associated with
disruptive innovation.

Next, students will learn how to work with cloud technologies and how digital solutions are being
leveraged amongst startups and small to medium enterprises. For this section, we invite speakers from Amazon’s Web Services (AWS), the leading provider of web hosting services with over 1.16 million companies globally. Distinguished AWS guest speakers will cover some of the key cloud solutions and explain how companies are innovating on top of the cloud. This will be combined with real-world case studies with actual start-ups participating for students to help deliver marketing engagements on the international stage.

Finally, the course will look at cases from e-commerce, digital payment systems, and online
healthcare that highlight some of the key managerial and regulatory challenges faced by different types of online businesses across national settings.
