The course is structured in three thematic blocks of four consecutive weeks each, one block devoted to each of the three angles taken on the strategy-technology relationship outlined above.
Each of the blocks consists of three weeks with in-class lectures and on-demand videos on selected theories and frameworks as main teaching methods, followed by one week where students work in teams of 2-3 to finalize their group assignments. To complete a thematic block and progress with the next, students need to submit their group assignments and in addition pass an online quiz on the content of the respective thematic block. In addition, student groups provide a short, written peer review of the group assignments handed in by other groups. These other groups provide a short response to peer reviews they receive.
After the last thematic block, students will have the opportunity to present their final portfolio of group assignments to class and receive feedback that they can integrate before the final submission and its assessment.
We will invite guest speakers and lecturers as we go along, who provide first-hand insights and expert views on selected topics touched in the three thematic blocks covered in the course.
