Introduction
This programme focuses on digital where digital implies digital products, processes, services, business models, monetization and even orchestration. We will study what happens to the digital in each of these spheres and why the 'digital' artefact is changing how we work, transact, collaborate and control labour, institutions, and markets around the world.

This programme offers students a unique and compelling mix of theory and practical knowledge of the digital economy.
