* explore their relationship to other intellectual streams in management disciplines such, as information systems, operations, marketing, strategy and entrepreneurship.
In addition to covering a substantial part of the digital innovation, transformation, and entrepreneurship research literature, the seminar also covers relevant foundations of the broader social, management, strategy, and economic literature on innovation, transformation, entrepreneurship scholarship that will assist the participants in developing and writing a seminar paper.
MEETING STRUCTURE
In preparation for each meeting, students need to review and synthesize the assigned readings. Each student should be prepared to deliver a short, provocative "conversation starter" that integrates the readings and shares their personal insights. In addition to a critical and/or appreciative review of existing work, the seminar emphasizes constructive discussions aiming toward designing state of the art research studies that build on and extend the related current body of knowledge. Conversations should aim to start a lively discussion. You should raise interesting questions, take sides, and spark a debate. It is also an opportunity to formulate new insights and rudimentary ideas.
