Digital intelligence, the ability to understand and make use of the
power of information technology to one’s advantage, is becoming a
critical skill for survival and success in today’s economy. Information
technology (IT) can make or break any type of organization – large or
small. Most companies are just beginning to figure out how to integrate
IT, and they’re hiring CEOs and top executives based on ability to
navigate the digital future facing their industries.
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of
Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, Sunil Mithas talks about
how successful managers can develop and continuously improve their
digital intelligence.
Sunil Mithas is an associate professor at the Robert H. Smith School
of Business at the University of Maryland in the Decision, Operations
and Information Technologies Department. He recently authored “Digital
Intelligence: What Every Smart Manager Must Have for Success in an
Information Age,”(Finerplanet, 2011).
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School
of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on
the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews
with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of
business leaders.
