NUS AMP 3- Strategy in Digital Age – Talent & Technology
Thinking strategically is essential for maintaining a competitive advantage. According to a Harvard Business School (HBS) research paper, a business model is defined as a collection of decisions enforced by a firm’s authority on its employees. It consists of two aspects: the internal constitution of the firm and the firm’s external alignment. These aspects are shaped by the varying degrees of authority that a firm exercise over its employees compared to other market actors. This course offers an overview of the business environment, with a focus on strategy and business models.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Learn the concepts of business strategy and business models in detail and understand their frameworks and implementation.
- Understand the importance of factoring a digital mindset in the workplace.
- Learn the concepts of Diversity and Inclusion and the strategies and steps required to infuse this in an organization.
