From advanced robotics and machine learning to software-as-a-service and the Industrial Internet of Things, these changes enable a powerful new way of organizing global opera-tions. The course introduces and discusses new business models and forms of operations that are currently being ena-bled by technological innovations such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
