We’re featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at technology. The tech sector went through a lot of ups and downs last year: executives from several companies testified before Congressional committees regarding their use of customers personal data, employers were held accountable by their own workers over business decisions, and some tech moguls, like Elon Musk, found themselves facing unexpected legal issues. 2019 holds the promise of new technological advances, with the possible arrival of 5G, new Apple products, further development of artificial intelligence and virtual reality, and more. Host Dan Loney speaks with Saikat Chaudhuri, Executive Director of the Mack Institute for Innovation Management at The Wharton School and co-host of Mastering Innovation, and Tucker Marion, Associate Professor and Group Chair for Academic Programs, Entrepreneurship & Innovation Group at Northeastern University’s D’Amore-McKim School of Business.
