Master in International Management

Description

We study how Industry 4.0 has revolutionized business processes and has had a powerful impact on the model of globalization by changing the workforce, increasing the ease of access to services, converging information and operation technologies and irrevocably linking digital and physical worlds. We analyse new modes of collaboration that are improving design processes and getting the most out of companies’ talent pools. We show how increased connectivity means that organizations must now be competitive on a global scale and cannot rely on their physical location to win business, thus forcing them to focus on meeting ever-changing consumer demands.

Obtain an understanding of how Industry 4.0 has revolutionized business operations both inside and outside the manufacturing industry, has increased the links between international organizations and has driven the process of globalization forward.
