The STEG course is an extension of the compulsory course Economic Geography taught during the 3rd semester. It focuses on the various effects of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) applications on (i) the location requirements, the spatial configuration of firms and (ii) local development.
The course is divided in two parts. Part I evolves around the global geography of internet, the globalization debate and the features of the “new economy”, while Part II focuses on more specific aspects such as electronic commerce and social media applications used as a marketing tool for small businesses.
The course includes in class lectures and laboratory lectures by the module leader and oral presentation of essays by students. Students can choose between two equivalent assesment alternatives. Either final written exam (100%), or oral presentation and written submission of essay (100%).
