Learning objectives:

The seminar enables participants to understand, discuss, and evaluate current research in the field of management and digital transformation – including business models, organization, strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the context of digital technologies and the resulting ongoing transformation. Based on extant theoretical and empirical research, students are able to analyze, evaluate, and address current management challenges in the context of the digital transformation.

 

Content:

Recent technological developments have created vast opportunities but also novel challenges for both established organizations and new startup ventures. In the face of rapid technological change and blurring industry boundaries, a key question managers have to answer is: How can organizations achieve and sustain competitive advantage in the digital age? Therefore, the topics covered in the seminar include business models, organization, strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the context of emerging digital technologies.
