All You Ever Wanted to Know About Convergence—and Why You Should Care: Convergence is the next stage of digitization, leading to digital blending of previously separate technologies, processes, and digital and physical assets; the reshaping of industry structures and markets; and entirely new combinations of products, services, and experiences. This class will explore the underlying causes and effects of convergence in more detail, and suggest how you can capitalize on convergence as an opportunity for innovation and growth.
