About us
View
The remarkable advances in information and communication technologies in recent decades and the ensuing arrival of the digital era are shaping our daily lives in a way that was not conceivable previously.
The ubiquitous presence of big data and the digitisation of information present enormous opportunities and challenges to businesses, consumers, and policymakers.
The Digital Lab brings together researchers from economics, law and other business disciplines to facilitate cutting-edge research on how digital technologies impact businesses, economies and policy.
The Digital Lab aspires to become our region’s premier research hub in the digital economy and leverage its research strengths for engagement with stakeholders in academia, industry, and the policy sphere.
Research networks
View
The Digital Lab’s main activities are conducted through two research networks: the Digital Economy Research Network (DERN) and the Monash Business Digitalisation Research Network (MBDRN).
The DERN’s focus is on the economics side of the digital economy with issues such as big data and business strategies, competition policy and regulation relevant to big techs, and digital privacy and cybersecurity.
The MBDRN focuses on the business side of digitalisation with interests in the role of digital technology and AI in productivity and management, digitalisation and the future of work, and governance in the digital age.
