Introduction to the module
This module explores the inter-relationships that exist between technological change, competition and socio-economic issues. These relationships are complex and dynamic, reflecting the wide-ranging nature of technological change that has occurred over the last 30 years or so and how technology has transformed many existing activities while creating new ones. While it is tempting to focus on specific apps or companies, it is worth remembering that technological change shapes the competitiveness of nations and how they prosper in today's global technology enabled economy.
The content of the course may vary according to industry trends. Currently, it is focused on Convergence, examplified by IoT and 5G.

Module Policies
Professor-Student Communication
● The professor will contact the students through their school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and the Moodle portal. No communication via personal email addresses will take place. It is the student responsibility to regularly check their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox.
● Students can communicate with the professor by emailing him/her to his institutional address. If necessary, it is possible to meet the professor in his office during office-hours or by appointment.
Students with accommodation needs
If a student has a disability that will prevent from completing the described work or require any kind of accommodation, he may inform the program director (with supporting documents) as soon as possible. Also, students are encouraged to discuss it with the professor.
Class behavior
● Out of courtesy for the professor and classmates, all mobile phones, electronic games or other devices that generate sound should be turned off during class.
● Students should avoid disruptive and disrespectful behavior such as: arriving late, leaving early, careless behavior (e.g. sleeping, reading a non-course material, using vulgar language, over-speaking, eating, drinking, etc.). A warning may be given on the first infraction of these rules. Repeated violators will be penalized and may face expulsion from the class and/or other disciplinary proceedings.
● The tolerated delay is 5 minutes. Attendance will be declared on Moodle during these 5 minutes via a QR code provided by the teacher at each course start.
● Student should arrive on time for exams and other assessments. No one will be allowed to enter the classroom once the first person has finished the exam and left the room.

● In the case of remote learning, the student must keep his camera on unless instructed otherwise by the professor.
