Technology is like this big disrupting force that refuses to go away. From AirBnB to Microsoft Azure to ride-sharing platforms, these companies are leveraging on smarter and better technology to upend entire industries and livelihoods.
As the Fourth Industrial Revolution looms over humanity, the rate of new advances in technology will only accelerate – fundamentally altering the way we live, work and relate to one another.
Are today’s graduates ready for this? Are tertiary education institutes equipping them with the right skills to adapt to more changes to come, including the aftermath of COVID-19?
There is still room for improvement, notes Dr Sabine Hoffmann, Head of School of Business and School of Computing at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) in New Zealand.
Dr Hoffmann is a veteran in the field, with experience working in management and leadership roles in business and higher education sectors in the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
She notes that the integration of new technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), hyper-automation, in addition to the rise of ethical technology to help make decisions are just some of the ways technology will impact businesses in the next five years.
