Course syllabus
The course is divided into three interdependent modules:
1. Internet and Web: origins, development, architectures and implementation protocols.
2. Business models and methodologies for the Web.
3. Experimental canvas for business implementation.
The main objective of the first module is to present and exhaustively analyze the Internet and the Web as business ecosystems. In fact, it is essential for a digital entrepreneur to have an adequate knowledge of the characteristics, limits and of the typical dangers of the context in which it operates.
Once the study of the context is completed, the main models and fundamental strategies that can be exploited in the design of a Web-based business are analyzed, also through the illustration of case studies. Finally, a precise experimental and methodological approach is presented.
