MBA Open Lecture: The Intersection of Business and Technology


Room 2.07

That’s right, we’re back! After a very challenging period of the last two years due to the Covid pandemic, Anglo-American University School of Business Administration invites you again for an MBA Open Lecture, this time with Mr. Mario Leone, MBA!

We invite all those interested to attend ‘The intersection of Business and Technology’ led by Mr. Mario Leone, MBA on Thursday 11th, 2022 at 6 PM. In this lecture, he will explain how the business value derived in delivering digital assets and automation to the business is accompanied by the perception of risk heightened by the inability to apply traditional return tools on investment metrics. Understanding the change management and process improvement investments that are necessary in parallel with the technology investments and the psychological barriers behind digital decision-making can encourage technology adoption in small to large businesses.

Following the lecture, we invite you to take part in a Q&A session with Mr Leone. Light refreshments will be provided at this event.
