FINTECH: CREATIVE DESTRUCTION & FINANCE ALUMNI CAREERS SPOTLIGHT

It is not news that technology is upending finance and destroying traditional finance roles and creating new ones. In this class, Professor Steven Zitzer will illustrate what´s happening in FinTech by looking at four case studies across a diverse landscape:

Cryptocurrencies - How to value something virtual that doesn’t pay anything?
Robo-Advising – What competitive strategy can teach us about the “stack”.
Payments – How disruptive innovation might have predicted the success of M-Pesa.
Crowdfunding – Are investing crowds wise or mad?
