Course Objective

Digital technologies have permeated all facets of the economy and society, particularly since the precipitous rise in the use of interactive and mobile communication tools, which took place during the first decade of the 21st century. The take-up of developments such as social networks, interactive services and mobile Internet has exceeded all expectations, as has the creative potential they have unleashed. Digitised information becomes a strategic economic resource and digitisation promotes radically new business models. These developments entail both risks and opportunities in labour markets and labour relations. This course aims to ensure that students know the effects of digital technologies on labour market.
