Introduction
The International Master's Degree Programme in Digital Transformation Management aims to train professionals able to manage, support, and speed up the process of business digital transformation.
Digital transformation involves technological, cultural, organizational, social, creative, and managerial changes associated with the use of digital technology in all aspects of human society.
Innovation together with the adoption of digital solutions requires professionals who are able to turn the digital transformation process into value for their organizations. Therefore, at the end of the program, you will be both familiar with the new technologies and their applications and will be able to manage the risks connected with their implementation.
The interdisciplinarity of the DTM course
Indeed, the Master’s degree program focuses both on IT as well as on managerial skills through an interdisciplinary approach:
- IT courses (e.g. those related to Data Science, IoT, and Artificial Intelligence…) provide knowledge and skills to develop technologies and systems to guide companies’ technological innovation.
- Managerial courses provide knowledge and skills to analyze and design business models, control business dynamics, manage and improve company performance and organization and develop entrepreneurial and analytical expertise.
The Department of Information Technologies, located in Cesena, will offer courses focused on IT while the Department of Management, located in Forlì, will offer courses focused on the managerial aspects.
