Future of the Department
Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence technology has become an issue that health businesses cannot ignore, and the understanding of business is constantly changing with the formation of a number of trends such as augmented reality, internet of things and data mining. At our university, these changes are supported with elective courses and technological infrastructures.
As it is known, businesses are organizations that live like people in a way. It is unthinkable for businesses to act independently of social events and to ignore generational differences. Some unexpected mass and social events - such as the covid 19 pandemic - may cause some changes/updates in the business models and structures of businesses. In this context, business departments have a flexible structure that can adapt to changes the fastest. Within the framework of all these, the Department of Business Administration is one of the departments that cannot be outdated.
As a result, just like businesses, following trends closely and acting proactively is the basic principle of IGU Health Management.
