Profile
Emerging technologies are increasingly central to how firms operate globally. This course surveys the major technological shifts, focusing on their relevance to internationalisation and sustainable development.
By the end, participants should be able to assess a technology's potential within a specific organisational context. That includes examining the business case, the practical constraints, and the broader sustainability implications.
This includes decisions about when to adopt a technology, how to phase implementation, and whether to partner with specialist vendors. For managers in internationalising firms, these are familiar choices.
The course looks at both opportunities and pitfalls. It does not treat technology as a silver bullet; instead, it asks which problems are genuinely suited to a given tool.
It is part of the Modular Certificate in Internationalisation and Sustainable Development. This means the discussion is anchored in the realities of cross-border strategy and long-term environmental and social goals.
Participants leave with a structured approach to technology evaluation, not a checklist. The emphasis is on reasoning through choices in a way that is both commercially sound and responsible.
