The one i ndustry remarkably absent from this transformation is higher education. As COVID accelerates a long overdue transformation of our market\, and it’s time for us to imagine what abundant access\, choice\, interactivity\, and personalization could look like in the context of our business. In this t alk I will draw on my prior research into the transformation of the entert ainment industry\, and my current research into the delivery of online edu cation to address three key questions facing the academy today:\n\n\n Why d o today’s digital technologies threaten to our longstanding business model ?\n How is the transformation of higher education likely to play out in the market?\n What should educational institutions—and IS researchers—do to re spond to this opportunity?\n\n DTSTART:20201113T170000Z DTEND:20201113T180000Z SUMMARY:Retail Thought Leader Series: Michael D.
