Overview
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the nature of our work and conduct of our businesses. On the one side, the predictive and generative power of AI promises to enhance our potential. On the other side, the scale and scope of AI based automation poses a credible threat to the survival of incumbent firms and the viability of their business models.
In this course, we not only try to understand AI as a technology but move beyond it and focus on its implications for firm strategy. The broader field of strategic management is concerned with how managers can help firms attain and sustain firm competitive advantage. In line with this, our focus shall be on various facets of AI and how it relates to managerial strategy.
We get beyond the prevailing hype surrounding AI, cut through the clutter, and take a structured and methodological approach to AI strategy. We then apply our frameworks to real world implementations of AI across industry sectors and critically examine the costs, benefits, and risks associated with such strategic decisions.
