Regulating Tech
with Dr. Mohammad Rahman
Daniels School Chair in Management

11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Eastern

Wednesday, November 15, 2023

Rawls Hall, 3rd Floor Commons

Registration is required. Please RSVP by November 10. 

Professor of Management Rahman will address digital platforms and self-regulation,
competition, and regulatory oversight.

Tech companies are the most valued firms in the current economy. Their success is attributed to their platform business model. The economics of platforms is different than a traditional “pipe” business model. What are some issues to consider as we think about policies to regulate tech companies?

Dr. Rahman’s research focuses on measuring and quantifying the impact of digital
transformations led by the Internet and related technologies; the economic value of digital traces (or digital footprints), especially in driving consumer behavior and improving decision-making; and the impact of information technology on a firm’s business and operational practices.
