Osaamistavoitteet
After completing this course, the student will be able to identify the strategic role of technology and technological decisions in the business context. The student will therefore be able to list and demonstrate different theoretical frameworks that are part of the strategic management technology (e.g. disruptive technologies, leadership-followership, VRIO, market-innovation orientation, diamond of technological strategy). In turn, the student will discover the connections between the different theoretical frameworks. During the course, the student will apply the theoretical frameworks to analyze and discuss six case studies.
