About USC Marshall Initiative on Digital Competition
The continued and rapid growth of E-commerce has generated questions about the consequences for society, business, and the global economy.
The USC Marshall Initiative on Digital Competition aims to discover insights on these questions through a collaboration of industry practitioners and academics from business disciplines as well as non-business disciplines (e.g. computer science, economics, law, communications); and disseminate these insights to a broad set of audiences that includes academics, business leaders, and the public.
