about this course

This course focuses on some of the important current issues in strategic management and management of technology. It is intended to provide the students with an intellectual framework that will guide the formulation and implementation of corporate strategies - with emphasis to strategies that fit with the emerging collaborative business enviroment and leverage the potential of IT technologies.

The course utilizes lectures and independent reading. The readings (textbook chapters and papers) are primarily drawn from strategic management literature, economics of technical change, behavioral and organizational economics, and from research conducted in engineering and business schools environments. A few of the journal articles are quite difficult. The appropriation from the students of the content of these book chapters and papers will be considered as the essential part of the student evaluation process.
