Important! Preparation for first two sessions.

Dear all,

and welcome to the IN4270 Digital business development course.

Enclosed (at https://www.dropbox.com/s/m441091mkz7yrfx/Syllabus%20BusDev%202021.pdf?dl=0) you will find a starting syllabus (it will develop as we go along) for the IN4270 Digital business development class. Please note that you will have to prepare for the first class (starting this Thursday at 1015 in Auditorium Smalltalk) by watching a video, reading a few articles and two cases, one of which will need to be purchased as part of the first case package.

This course is case-based - read more about what that entails in the syllabus - and requires active participation from all students. It will be taught in parallel with the M.Sc. course GRA6834 Business Development and Innovation Management at BI Norwegian Business School.

Please also note that the course is demanding in terms of workload, time required (not least to discuss with fellow students, on line and in person) and content (it does require a some business education, equivalent to 30 units.) We will refer to accounting, economics, statistics and other business subjects without explanation. Students are assumed to be full-time students (the M.Sc. programs at IFI are full time), so if you are planning to take this course as an interesting side subject without full immersion, well, my advice is to drop out.

Otherwise - welcome! I am looking forward to many interesting discussions and a broad range of topics related to digital business development.

Sincerely,

Espen
