The aim of the course is to teach students to think about digital technology with two new ways: first, in historical
context, both in economic and business terms. This will complement the usual two basic views, ie. Users' ("riding
a car") and technological ("look under the hood"). Graduate should be able to analyze business models of current
and future digital technology, distinguish marketing and promotion from reality, explain and predict to some extent
evolution in digital markets. Interpretation is based on specific examples and stories from which we aim to
generalize the needy.
