MIS40650 Understanding Digital Innovation: Knowledge, Power, Agency & AI

Academic Year 2023/2024

The increasing ubiquity of collaborative, social networking, and mobile computing technologies is playing a key role in transforming work practices and organisations. Our understanding of these changes, however, and their implications for management, is still poorly developed. This module will provide managers with a mature and actionable understanding of this emerging landscape, with a view to shaping organisational innovation in creative ways. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of such technologies in processes of communication, knowledge creation/sharing, and learning; processes of surveillance and organisational control; and, in the emergence of new, distributed modes of organising work and collaborative production.
