Course details

The aim of the Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Business qualification is to equip managers with a qualification that enables not only survival but also to contribute positively to the changing business environment. As the world gears towards the 4th Industrial Revolution(4IR), it has become imperative that managers and business leaders adapt to this rapid digital transformation.

The technological demands of 4IR require a different type of business professional. Traditional management of brick-and-mortar establishments is becoming increasingly irrelevant as most commercial activity is transferring towards an online environment. For organisations to stay competitive it has become imperative to advance their virtual presence and to hire employees to fill digital jobs capitalising on their knowledge and talent in effectively managing social media networks, online promotions, online marketing, big data handling and analytics.

The role of digital has not only forced businesses to adapt to the changing business environment, but all educational institutions are also having to develop and implement relevant programs that cater to the demands of the workforce. Therefore, the purpose of this qualification is to re-equip students with strategic and relevant digital management skills in the fields of supply chain, human resources and other aspects pertaining to the management field.
