The course will present the concept of the Cognitive Enterprise through industrial case studies and settings. Components that underpin emerging business models and best practices for implementing Cognitive Enterprises will be explored. Students will also gain a broad understanding of the IT industry, its research foundations and its place in servicing society. |
