Gianvito is the Founding Director of the Cas s’s Digital Leadership Research Centre (DLRC) and in 2013 he launched the Digital Innovation in Action MBA program\, the most successful MBA electiv e in the School. Gianvito holds an MSc in Mechanical Engineering (Dean’s l ist) and a PhD in Strategic Management. Before joining academia\, he was t he founder and managing director of “e-change Srl”\, an e-business transfo rmation provider which in 2002 he sold to a leading software company.\n\nA bstract\n\nIn this webinar Professor Lanzolla will be presenting the resul ts of a systemic analysis (joint work with Fang Lei and Andreas Tsanakas) on 500 US banks and insurance companies over the period 2006 to 2018 on th e relationship between digitisation and patterns of divergence/convergence in business models and perception of external risks. Overall\, findings s how that digitisation drives convergence in business models among banks an d insurances. However\, this effect is stronger for generalist banks and i nsurance companies than for specialist ones - e.g.\, investment banks and life insurance companies. Findings also show that perceived external risks are converging among banks and insurances\, thus suggesting the emergence of broader systemic risks. Implications of these findings for management and policy are finally discussed.\n\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Convergent Innovation Webinar Series will feature cutting edge science\, technology a nd innovation in agriculture\, food and health domains as well as in the b ehavioural\, commercial\, social and complexity sciences. These\, combined with traditions from around the world\, will altogether articulate an int erdisciplinary research and action strategy to transform agricultural prod ucts like pulses from undifferentiated commodities into higher-margin whol e and value-added food products that support sustainable development and a ffordable healthcare. Progressively\, programs in the CI-Food webinar seri es will be developed for other agricultural products with high CI potentia l\, e.g.\, dairy\, fruits\, vegetables\, and others.\n DTSTART:20191015T150000Z DTEND:20191015T163000Z SUMMARY:CI Food Webinar Series: Prof. Gianvito Lanzolla URL:/desautels/channels/event/ci-food-webinar-series-p rof-gianvito-lanzolla-301079 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
