Overview

What do leaders need to know to successfully identify, evaluate, and lead analytics and AI initiatives in their organizations? This course combines interactive lectures, individual and group exercises and case study discussions to help leaders become familiar with the state and the promise of AI technology and learn practical tools for harnessing the power of analytics and AI in their organizations. AI is transforming industries, changing how decisions are made, and opening up new opportunities for businesses.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of AI—what it is, how it works, and how it’s shaping the business world today and in the future. The focus will be on two key branches of AI: Predictive Machine Learning and Generative AI. Students will explore real-world applications of AI in business, learning how organizations are integrating these technologies to improve efficiency, enhance decision-making, and drive innovation. Through hands-on activities, case studies, and discussions, students will gain practical experience using AI tools like ChatGPT to tackle business challenges, optimize workflows, and create new value.

Overview

This course examines how data and analytics support effective business decision-making in contemporary organizations. The focus is on using analytical thinking to frame problems, evaluate alternatives, and support strategic and operational choices. Through business cases, practical examples, and applied exercises, the course explores how analytics is used across key business functions such as marketing, finance, operations, and strategy. Emphasis is placed on interpreting results, understanding implications, and translating insights into actionable recommendations that create value for organizations.

Overview

This course examines how artificial intelligence is transforming contemporary marketing practice, with a particular emphasis on generative AI and its integration into the broader ecosystem of tools used by marketing leaders. Students will explore applications across analytics, automation, personalization, and content creation, learning how different classes of AI tools can reshape customer engagement, resource allocation, and decision-making in both digital and traditional channels.

Overview

This course introduces learners to frameworks and tools used to design, analyze, and manage digital capabilities (e.g., identity management, data platforms, workflow engines, integration services, and AI components) that power modern digital products, services, and experiences. The course begins with defining different types of digital capabilities and mapping them to strategic intent, illustrating how capabilities enable  value creation, differentiation, and operational excellence. Through systems thinking and architectural modeling, learners will deconstruct complex systems into coherent, reusable capability components and identify dependencies and integration points to identify interoperability requirements (e.g., APIs, services, and workflows). With this foundation, students will learn how to evaluate potential digital products, services, and experiences using value-based criteria and make informed investment and prioritization decisions. Finally, recognizing that technology alone does not determine success, the course also examines the cultural and structural factors and learn strategies to embed new capabilities into daily operations in a way that builds trust, clarity, and organizational readiness.

Overview

This course is designed to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for making effective strategic decisions. CEOs and top management teams are typically responsible for making such high-level strategic decisions.

These decisions:

1. Influence a company’s future resource allocation choices
2. Guide lower-level operational decisions
3. Shape the competitive choices of other organizations, such as competitors, suppliers, customers, and partners

Overview

This course takes a leadership view of Operations Management and considers the role of Operations in executing a firm’s strategy. Specific areas of focus include supply chain strategy, project management, service management, offshore outsourcing, and lean innovation. Discussions and assignments will be case based and consider firms with a global perspective. This course connects closely to the underlying program themes of strategy, global business, leadership, innovation, and corporate social responsibility.

Overview

This course will explore both the unique opportunities and challenges that multinational corporations (MNCs) encounter in their pursuit of international expansion into foreign markets. Each class session will be constituted by a combination of both case study-based discussion / analysis and mini-lectures. The course materials (the case studies and readings), the in-class case study discussions / analyses and the mini-lectures have all been organized to equip you with frameworks, tools, concepts and theories that are pertinent to global business strategy. This course will focus on the strategies of MNCs and the performance implications of the strategic choices made by these firms. The goal is to position you to assess and act upon the types of opportunities (and confront the sorts of challenges) that MNCs encounter through their efforts to internationalize and operate as global firms.

Overview

The course is composed of two modules covering alternative approaches to enhancing the profitability of a business. These modules are organized around the four determinants of profitability: price, cost, market share and market size. The first module focuses on understanding how marketing decisions impact margin and the second module complements that coverage in reviewing marketing decisions that impact volume.

The design of this course assumes that you have been exposed to the foundations of marketing strategy and have had experience at analyzing business cases in order to identify marketing problems, propose strategic marketing solutions and formulate rudimentary business plans (material you would have acquired in an undergraduate program). This course will provide you with concepts and tools that you can use to evaluate those plans and identify those issues that typical startups should be prepared to address.
