2. Digital transformation of businesses
We live in a society of excess, where supply far exceeds demand. Standing out from the competition through high added value proposals will be essential for our perpetuation over time in a sustainable manner. Laying solid foundations from the moment we begin to conceive our business model will provide us with the keys to success; we will be able to embark on this path towards differentiation with guarantees. In this module, students will learn about the current environment and the challenges it presents, how companies should approach and adapt their business model strategy according to their challenges and the role played by the end consumer, new technologies and the virtual environment in relation to the generation of supply.

Digital Marketing has revolutionised the way we do business, and no corporation, company, business, entrepreneur or professional (whether or not in the marketing area) can ignore its vital importance in achieving success. The digital world has blurred the walls between the areas of Marketing (on and off line), PR, IR and Customer Service, mainly because in the Digital Ecosystem the customer demands to be kept informed, to be listened to and to be attended to for any query or complaint, through any channel. Digital Marketing is closer to a dialogic communication strategy than to advertising, and if there is anyone authorised to talk about the evolution of marketing mix strategies, it is Philip Kotler, who is considered the "father of marketing". In order to get to know and situate the theoretical framework of this subject, we’re going to start with Philip Kloter's new book "Marketing 4.0".

Customer management is undoubtedly the most important function in business. It means investigating where current and potential customers are, getting to know those who already work with us, actively listening to what they want, prioritising their habits and establishing actions to guarantee their permanence. During this course, students will immerse in the definition and basic concepts of a customer management system and learn to clarify some of the confusion that still exists between direct marketing, relationship marketing and customer loyalty. They will also learn about the introduction of the commercial system in companies and its integration in distribution channels, as well as familiarize with the necessary tools and procedures for the deployment of a relationship system (CRM) in the company.

In the era of information and digital transformation, strategically managing Business Intelligence (BI), Big Data and Business Analytics (BA) Information Systems is essential for organisations, as they can improve the efficiency of operations by providing better visibility, control and greater agility and transparency through the creation, use and exploitation of these technologies. In this module, students will review the importance of collecting, transforming, analysing and measuring this historical and predictive information through an appropriate BI strategy and always with a clear prior definition of the business requirements; you will see the evolution of BI, which processes and business areas it affects, how this information is obtained and aggregated from different sources, channels and data origins, and how these support digital transformation.
Professor: Jesús Cristóbal Asorey, Business Intelligence and Qlikview Expert.
The supply chain is the competitive and differentiating factor by which companies can either stand out in the market or remain stuck in an all-out battle in the red oceans. Technologies have always influenced the development and operations of the supply chain, and innovations in transportation modes have been a substantial resource for overtaking competition in markets, especially in internationalising companies. However, in recent years, digitalisation has brought about a substantially different change; it has offered solutions that radically change concepts and paradigms in all sectors. Throughout this subject, you will see the process of digitisation of the supply chain, the technologies in the digitisation of the supply chain and the possibilities of innovation in processes within the framework of the digitisation of the supply chain.
Professor: Roy Mouawad, Director of Quality, Dean, Campus Director, Professor at Geneva Business School.

Since 2014, Internet access from mobile devices has surpassed access from traditional desktop and laptop computers. This data indicates that the playing field is changing radically and that in the near future, companies' strategies must be focused on mobile devices. Access from mobile devices is based on the use of applications, which is why we must be aware of everything that is happening in this sector. In this module, students will face the change of business model that is taking place in mobile applications and learn how it’s focusing more and more on the benefits of advertising. You will learn about the strategies of big companies in the sector, such as Google and Facebook and how they carry out innovative marketing and brand awareness campaigns through these new options.

Company visits
During the development of the programme, the student will have the opportunity to attend synchronous videoconferences with professional experts that will share their experience and provide advice on some of the best practices in the sector.
Webinars
Most of the training is done asynchronously, that is, the exchange of knowledge is done through a platform that allows sharing written texts without the need for people to be connected at the same time.
Additionally, in each of the modules, synchronous sessions or 'webinars' are organised, where all participants are connected at the same time through an application, which allows the exchange of knowledge in 'real time'.
Students taking the Master in Digital Transformation will have the opportunity to prepare for the following certifications:
- ICN Business IT Certification
- Scrum Certification (Product Owner & Scrum Master)
*The cost of the certifications, as well as the preparatory course, is not included in the price of the programme.
