Programme information
Infonomics is one of the few academic programmes in the world to combine economics and business, with a focus on information technology. Having the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to be able to cross these disciplines is becoming increasingly important. This is because Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are developing rapidly and companies often do not know how to keep up with them or how best to integrate them for maximum productivity and performance. Infonomics will equip you with the theoretical and practical skills to develop policies and strategies that address ICT challenges in a business environment.
What will you learn?
Due to its multi-disciplinary nature, Infonomics will challenge you both intellectually and practically. You will learn to think conceptually about information technologies and their impact on business productivity and profitability. You will also understand more widely how information affects markets. On a more human level, you will be able to define and measure different kinds of capital, such as human and information capital, and analyse how new technologies are perceived by and can benefit individuals and teams.
At the end of the programme, you will be able to:
- think conceptually about information technologies and their impact on productivity and profitability;
- understand the economic nature of information and of information networks;
- understand how information affects markets;
- critically analyse complex economic and business problems;
- apply the theory you have learned in innovative and practical ways.
