Technology plays a key role in driving business model transformation. In this course, we will examine the relationships between technology, innovation, business models, growth strategies, and change management. We will cover topics such as disruptive innovation, artificial intelligence, platforms and ecosystems, and change management. We will cover a diverse set of industries and companies, with a particular emphasis on Japanese multi-nationals, drawing on the instructor's strategy and management experience at companies such as Mitsubishi, Sony, and Hitachi. A key component of this course will be the group project, where teams will analyze and recommend a strategy and a course of action for a company of their choice.
