Mobile banking refers to the use of mobile devices to access financial services and conduct commerce.  Though technologies for mobile banking available are pretty standard around the world, the solutions that succeed in various countries diverge.  Students will work in cross-national teams across universities to understand why current business models differ and propose new business models from the perspective of an assigned institution (e.g., bank, telecom provider, startup) that are appropriate for an assigned country or region.  By comparing the solutions proposed by different teams, the course will help students gain insights into strategies for success for different market participants with different competencies and assets across countries.
