How is Fintech Shaking Up the Finance Industry

FinTech is all about “creative destruction”. It´s about how technology and new ways of connecting are upending finance, and both destroying some traditional finance roles and creating new ones in your post-Master career. 

In this class, Prof. Zitzer will illustrate what´s happening by focusing on two stories/mini case studies across the diverse FinTech landscape.  We´ll use an interactive dialogue to get a feel for what the future holds.

  1. WealthTech, Gretsky and the Race to Zero
  2. The Five Forces of Alibaba
