Advanced Business Models (SOM 498)

This course is an advanced integrated exploration of business models and industry dynamics. The course uses live-case projects to assess the impact of technology on industry dynamics, competition, business models, organizational strategy, and firm performance. Students will look at strategic change in organizations from multiple perspectives integrating knowledge from their core coursework into a major presentation and paper. Students will receive the benefit of coaching from area business leaders as they complete their presentations.
