Description

This module illustrates how 'the Internet of things' has fundamentally changed the business environment. The module highlights the importance of digital acceptance and indeed championing by the C suite, looking in-depth at such key areas as ROI, Digitizing the Consumer Decision Journey, Branding, the Marketing Mix and the Digital Value Chain. Demonstrating that many companies are still treating digital as an addendum rather than an integral part of strategy, the module highlights that those companies who do so, do so at their peril.
