New & Emerging Business Technologies

Research Cluster

The Business Technology Research Cluster (BTRC) was founded in 2022 to conduct impactful research on advanced technologies supporting the digital transformation of businesses. 


Digital technologies (such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchains, big data, and advanced data analytics) are increasingly relied upon by businesses to provide consumers with superior value and more competitive offerings. BTRL investigates how advancing technology impacts businesses and broader societal groups. The topics of interest for this lab are periodically revised to remain current with evolving international developments and agendas.


BTRC encompasses all business administration disciplines because it focuses on new technology integration and its subsequent impacts on business solutions and innovations. Academic research findings are made more pertinent to and interesting for businesses in the real world by tying them to our expertise and strengths in the current trend of emerging technologies.
