Cases and Expected Outcomes

Unit1 Case 1: A reality check for today’s c suite on industry 4.0; (KPMG International, 2018) Industry 4.0 report
Expected Outcome:
After reading and analyzing the case, students should have the ability to examine what some firms are doing right and what others must do better
to manage the most complex business challenge to emerge in generations. Students will develop insights into transformational challenges and
timely strategies to succeed in the new digital economy.
Unit2 Case 1: Vodafone Managing Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence

Expected Outcome:
The case helps students learn to manage advanced technologies and Artificial Intelligence, focusing mainly on the telecommunication industry. It
also throws light on the risks and disruption part.
Unit2 Case 2: OneBankAssure: Customer Intimacy Through Machine Learning (MIT, March 2018)
Expected Outcome:
This case is expected to guide the students on creating fertile ground in the organization to use machine learning capabilities. Students will also
realize the need for investments in training and culture change needed before a firm can become a data-driven organization through the case study.
Unit3 Case 1: Blockchain ConsenSys Sustainability
This case allows students to learn about Sustainability with International’s Alliance with ConsenSys and how the company is Leveraging
Technology for Social Impact
Unit3 Case 2: Blockchain at BNP Paribas: The power of co-creation (MIT, March 2018)
Expected Outcome:
The case analysis and discussion should help students to consider adopting emergent technologies like Blockchain in a co-creation mode with
customers. The case would also help students identify some approaches to reduce the risks inherent in implementing such technology-based
solutions.

11
Unit3 Case 3: Maersk: Betting on Blockchain (HBS, July 2018)
Expected Outcome:
This case would help students understand the value of Blockchain technology to traditional companies. It is also expected to facilitate discussion
around the best way to deploy Blockchain technology
Unit4 Case 1: Advantech: Evolution of its IoT Ecosystem Strategy (CEIBS Shanghai, 2018)
Expected Outcome:
Students will be sensitized to look at the overall ecosystem while trying technologies such as IoT. Through this, students will also understand the
layers of the IoT industry and its various players.
Unit4 Case2: Robotic Process Automation: Strategic Transformation Lever for Global Business Services (“WALT”) (London School of Economics,
2017)
Expected Outcome:
Students will gain insight into the service automation landscape, RPA risks, challenges, and effective deployment, and will learn how to plan for
(a) service automation strategy and building a mature automation capability, (b) mitigate the risks, and (c) progress launch, change management
and detailed implementation in multiple business contexts.
Unit5 Case 1: UnitBanco Sabadell acquires Banco CAM: leveraging a cloud computing strategy
The case focuses on Miquel Montes, the new CEO in Banco CAM, and his team; Federico Rodriguez, new Chief Operations Officer; and
Carles Abarca, new Chief Information Officer. Banco Sabadell had developed a cloud computing architecture never tested before in
mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Despite Sabadell management’s strong and proven experience of M&As, there were risks associated
with the benefits. Students need to understand both to understand how to plan in such situations.
Unit5 Case 2: Selling groceries through the cloud in a Tier II city in India (EMERALD EMERGING MARKETS CASE STUDIES 2016)
Expected Outcome:
Students are expected to understand the challenges faces by the business mentioned in the case, how these challenges can be tackled by moving on
to the cloud, risk analysis for cloud strategy, ROI, and other benefits.
