Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement

The digital revolution has entered a new phase, stronger and more disruptive. Companies and organizations must start a deep reflexion on their digital transformation (business models, marketing, training, work organization and human resources, relationships with customers, partners and suppliers, research and development, ...). As a leading management school, HEC-ULg wants to prepare its students to this new Digital world and the opportunities of Digital business.
The course is organized as a roadmap from the early E-Business Model to the Digital Business Model that is now dominant but already in transition to an Algorithmic Business Model.

  • Introduction to the to the Digital Transformation
  • From Web As It Was to Web as It is & Will Be
  • From E-Commerce & E-marketing  to Digital Commerce & Marketing
  • Mobile & IoT
  • Cloud computing & API Economy
  • (Big) (Smart) Data & IA
  • Plateformization & Digital Ecosystems
  • Technology Trends
  • Digital Ethics & Challenges
The course focuses of how a company has to transform itself into a platform and, in the future, into a ecosystem.

None.
Since 2020, the "digital transformation" course given in 1st BAC will be a kind of introduction to the course.

Activités d'apprentissage prévues et méthodes d'enseignement

6 lessons (3 hours) are planned. All of them will be performed by André Blavier.
The course will include three types of activities:

  • Traditional lessons, organized by topics (see above).
  • Lectures by professionals coming from ICT companies (depending on their disponibility).
  • Group works.

Mode d'enseignement (présentiel, à distance, hybride)

Students will have tho opportunity to use interactive and collaboration tools (RSS feeds, email alerts, sharing tools, etc.).
Group works (3 to 4 students) will be organized for the 5 last lessons. The week before each of them, a topic will be given to a limited number of groups. Two randomly chosen will have to make a presentation in front of the class.

Lectures recommandées ou obligatoires et notes de cours

  • The course will be mainly supported by "Powerpoint" presentations. These presentations must be used as a detailled plan for the course and will have to be completed by information and references given during the lessons.
  • Supports and documentation will be available on Lol@ at least one day before each lesson. Multimedia contents, reference websites, studies, newsletters, people to follow, ... will also be available on Lol@. The idea is to provide scalable and evolutive supports that students will continue to use in their future professional life.
  • Students are also invited to follow the Twiter account @unpeudeblabla (a specific hashtag will be used for the course).
