Taught by industry and academic leaders David Yermack and Kathleen DeRose, this course equips participants with an understanding of key FinTech concepts, strategies and implications. Participants will examine the evolution of financial technologies and digital currencies, and identify the pros, cons and opportunities surrounding these innovations. Participants will also learn about the regulatory frameworks currently in place to address privacy and law enforcement challenges.
