So my primary reason for selecting this program is that it offers me the opportunity to study all of this in just 2 years. Managing teams and projects is also a crucial part of the program. These skills are taught both from theoretical and practical perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>I expect the program to teach me about the process of innovation that starts at the intersection of organizational requirements, technological capabilities, and human needs. Successful entrepreneurship begins with the person and their needs, and then the technological capabilities come into play, together with the business requirements needed to evaluate the potential for success of any innovative project. IT law is also part of the program, providing students with the basic knowledge of the legal aspects of any business activity.<\/p>\n<p>In the MSc Program on the Digital Economy, I hope to gain all the knowledge and skills that are highly sought-after in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katsiaryna, interested in the Master\u2019s Program on the Digital Economy at WU Vienna When I did my bachelor\u2019s in business informatics in Belarus, I knew right from the start that I wanted to continue studying IT and business and acquire this unique blend of skills that\u2019s so sought-after in the labor market.
