More contemporarily, this course is about a business revolution that we are in the middle of, a platform revolution. Platform-enabled marketplaces, and other Internet-based goods and products with digital components and network effects, have stormed at the head of economic activity. Platform-mediated networks produce over half the revenue for over half of the world's 100 largest companies (e.g., Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google, American Express, Time Warner). Technology entrepreneurship is commonplace. But this class of goods has very different, almost weird, characteristics, with distinctive economic forces that affect supply (e.g., supply and cost structures), demand (e.g., how value is created) and markets (e.g., industry organization, alliances, and competition). Managing and responding to these forces requires distinctive competitive strategies. Conversely, strategic errors can be devastating. What are these forces? How do they impact market outcomes in technology industries? And how should firms shape their competitive strategy?

Through case studies spanning the future of work, education, healthcare, media, and content creation, we will examine three core questions: 1) The power of transformation: What opportunities emerge as AI adoption scales, and what new business models and industries are being created by this technological revolution? 2) Strategy in the Age of AI: How should firms develop competitive strategies grounded in economic principles to thrive amid rapid technological change? 3) Adapting to the AI Era: How can individuals, organizations, and governments respond to the challenges of AI to harness its full potential for innovation and societal benefit?

Matching supply to demand is easiest when a firm has a flexible supply process, but flexibility is generally expensive. In this course we will learn(1) how to assess the appropriate level of supply flexibility for a given industry and (2) explore strategies for economically increasing a firm’s supply flexibility. Lastly we will study coordination and incentives across multiple firms in a supply chain. While tactical models and decisions are part of this course, the emphasis is on the qualitative insights needed by general managers or management consultants.

The highest-stake competitive decisions made by firms are game-theoretic: they involve asking not just “what should I do?” but also “how will my competitors respond to what I do?” questions. And the very best managerial thinking doesn’t just recognize that interdependency: it leverages it, taking forceful, forward-looking decisions that shape competitors’ actions and the very structure of the competitive environment. This residential course begins by developing new tools for decision-making, and then applies those tools in experiential exercises and cases, yielding fundamental insights for managers in a wide range of competitive settings.

Platform-enabled marketplaces, and other Internet-based goods and products with digital components and network effects, have stormed at the head of economic activity. Platform-mediated networks produce over half the revenue for over half of the world's 100 largest companies (e.g., Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google, American Express, Time Warner). Technology entrepreneurship is commonplace. But this class of goods has very different, almost weird, characteristics, with distinctive economic forces that affect supply (e.g., supply and cost structures), demand (e.g., how value is created) and markets (e.g., industry organization, alliances, and competition). Managing and responding to these forces requires distinctive competitive strategies. Conversely, strategic errors can be devastating. What are these forces? How do they impact market outcomes in technology industries? And how should firms shape their competitive strategy?

Matching supply to demand is easiest when a firm has a flexible supply process, but flexibility is generally expensive. In this course we will learn(1) how to assess the appropriate level of supply flexibility for a given industry and (2) explore strategies for economically increasing a firm’s supply flexibility. Lastly we will study coordination and incentives across multiple firms in a supply chain. While tactical models and decisions are part of this course, the emphasis is on the qualitative insights needed by general managers or management consultants.

Power and Influence examines the bases of subunit and individual power in organizations and the means by which subunit and individual power is translated into influence. The course assumes that leaders sometimes must acquire power to be effective, but recognizes that leaders do not always use power in the interests of the organization. Thus, the course explores the positive and negative effects that power and its use can have an organizational effectiveness and in the process considers the ethics of power and influence. The course also recognizes that leaders are not the only organization participants who acquire power and exercise influence in organizations. Thus, the course focuses not just on leaders but also middle level managers and lower level employees. The course's most basic premise is that managers at all levels of the organization can improve their effectiveness (both in pursuit of their own and their organization's interests) if they better understand how power is accumulated and used in organizations. Class sessions are devoted to discussing case studies in light of theoretical arguments advanced in readings.
