This course draws on readings and theories from technology strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation management to help students understand the practical and societal implications of AI and digitalization beyond the technology industry. Through readings, case studies, and guest lectures, students will learn about how AI and technological developments drive entrepreneurial business strategies, innovate existing business models, and catalyze new entrepreneurial ventures. The course will also provide a general overview of different AI methods and processes and guide students toward additional opportunities for method development. Learning Objectives: �Understand the strategic importance of technology management and AI in business. �Analyze the impact of technological innovations on business models and strategies. �Develop skills for creating and managing technology-driven business ventures. �Evaluate the ethical and societal implications of AI and emerging technologies. �Apply strategic frameworks to real-world technology and entrepreneurship challenges.

MGMT0003001 ( Syllabus )
We all spend much of our lives in organizations. Most of us are born in organizations, educated in organizations, and work in organizations. Organizations emerge because individuals can't (or don't want to) accomplish their goals alone. Management is the art and science of helping individuals achieve their goals together. Managers in an organization determine where their organization is going and how it gets there. More formally, managers formulate strategies and implement those strategies. This course provides a framework for understanding the opportunities and challenges involved in formulating and implementing strategies by taking a "system" view of organizations,which means that we examine multiple aspects of how managers address their environments, strategy, structure, culture, tasks, people, and outputs, and how managerial decisions made in these various domains interrelate. The course will help you to understand and analyze how managers can formulate and implement strategies effectively. It will be particularly valuable if you are interested in management consulting, investment analysis, or entrepreneurship - but it will help you to better understand and be a more effective contributor to any organizations you join, whether they are large, established firms or startups. This course must be taken for a grade.
