Modern organizations depend on connected technologies to communicate, reach customers, support online commerce, and manage operations at scale. In this specialization, you'll build practical, business-focused technology skills in computer networks, digital commerce, social media, and enterprise systems, including customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and supply chain management (SCM), the technologies that power today's organizations.
You'll learn how organizations use networks, the Internet, wireless technologies, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to connect people, devices, and information. You'll explore e-commerce, digital marketing, and social media strategies that help organizations engage customers and navigate ethical and legal challenges online.
You'll also examine enterprise systems that integrate operations, customers, and supply chains. From ERP and CRM to supply chain technologies, you'll discover how organizations use information systems to improve efficiency and support decision-making.
Through real-world examples from organizations such as Netflix, Dell, Walmart, TikTok, BMW, and Salesforce, you'll see how technology supports strategy and growth.
Whether you're building business technology fluency or preparing for roles like business analyst, e-commerce coordinator, or systems support professional, this specialization helps you understand how organizations use technology to connect people, data, and business processes.
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
Get ready to think like a digital-age business leader. Across this specialization, you'll engage in six interactive dialogues that turn networking, e-commerce, and enterprise systems concepts into skills you can use right away. You'll explore how virtual collaboration and m-commerce create business value, wrestle with the ethical gray areas of e-commerce and the tactics behind viral social media campaigns, then step into a leader's shoes to decide whether an ERP system is worth the risk and how to outsmart the bullwhip effect in a supply chain. Each Dialogue pushes you beyond definitions: you'll apply frameworks to real scenarios, defend your reasoning, and build the judgment employers expect from digitally fluent professionals ready to solve messy, real business problems.
