The McGill Alumni Association of the UAE kindly welcomes Dr. Alain Pinsonneault, McGill University Desautels Faculty of Management Professor of Information Systems, and Academic Director for the EMBA, to Dubai for an evening of conversation and networking.
You are kindly invited to join us on Wednesday, June 7 (7 PM GST) at the ICD Brookfield Place at DIFC for a discussion on digital platforms: what they are and how they are changing organizations.
To be ready to face the disruption brought about by the digital economy requires two fundamental elements that will be covered during this talk. First, a good understanding of how the digital economy works, including the key concepts of the digital economy such as platforms, two-sided network effects, curation, and monetization strategies. And secondly, a deeper understanding of what it means to manage in a platform environment.
The talk will be followed by networking. Light refreshments will be served thanks to our sponsor CLD MENA.
We hope to see you for this riveting talk!
