Learning unit contents
Through the Digital Business Capstone Project, the students have to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during their master in the field of Digital Business. The students must solve a real or realistic complex management problem that requires digital technologies. Both components, digital and management, must be simultaneously taken into account. They have to analyze the management problem, define a solution approach to answer the management need, model the process, implement the solution and measure the added-value of their approach. Among the possible digital technologies, but not limited to them: machine learning (data science), web based information systems, Internet of Things, robotics, digital twins, blockchain, advanced database management systems, virtual or augmented reality...
