SUMMARY:Curriculum of a Master's degree in Digital Transformation of Corporate Business
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, san
 s-serif; font-size: 12px;">The proposed curriculum should reflect the radic
 al change that information technologies will bring to the existing social a
 nd economic order. This disruption will bring about major changes in the mi
 x of skills profiles and competencies industry requires for managing digita
 l transformation. The research undertaken so far has proved that both speci
 alist technical and general skills will be in high demand. Also the functio
 nal and disciplinary organization, as it is reflected in most Management cu
 rricula taught in higher education, will be replaced by cross-disciplinary 
 and more holistic approaches. In addition soft skills will gain higher prio
 rity as the change process will bring about a much more networked and inter
 connected type of companies and collaboration processes. A modern approach 
 will be implemented by collaborating universities in designing a curriculum
  based on cooperation with the corporate sector and is to reflect companies
 ' recent requirements of graduates skills to be acquired on such a study pr
 ograme. Collaborative work of university partners will run on a newly creat
 ed project platform (cf G. Project Management and Implementation).</span><b

 if; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, 
 Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The planned future Master’s
  programme will be organized as a joint degree program, which means that it
  will be developed and implemented jointly by three partner universities. T
 he joint degree program can be seen as a transnational education platform e
 nabling the partner universities to combine strengths in expertise, knowled
 ge, learning models and scientific culture of three different European univ
 ersities in such a unique way that the result is superior to each single na
 tional institution’s approach.</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family

 olor: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-siz
 e: 12px;">The planned study program should contain three main pillars of co
 ntent: (1) core corporate business skills, (2) HR and innovation skills and
  (3) IT, data analysis and technical skills. Teaching modules of every pill
 ar should be closely related to a project, which could be either a corporat
 e or a scientific research project. According to reviews of core strengths 
 of collaborating partners it seems that competencies can be divided as foll
 ows: Bielefeld's focus on core business skills, Tartu's on soft sills and i
 nnovation and Brno's on IT / Big Data competencies.</span></p>
