(syllabus)
Knowledge has become the strategic asset for firms and organizations in the modern digital age. Thus, people are more and more central in the economic activity as they are able to share, combine, and produce new knowledge over time and across networks. The organizational ability to motivate people, and to engage them in knowledge sharing has gained strategic relevance. Moreover, the technological innovations have provided organizations with unprecedented digital tools to assist them. Thus, students will engage in active participation through exercises and project work in order to understand strategies of knowledge management, organizational conditions and enabling technologies. This course is designed to understand the role of data-driven knowledge within the contemporary economy, and to provide the students with a clear analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of information-based goods.
