Overview of class

This course covers a broad range of useful competitive and entrepreneurial strategy frameworks and high-tech business concepts. We analyze well-known Silicon Valley SF California cases in wine, 3-D printed bikes, e-scooter, entertainment and AI-enabled financial services. We practice using competitive advantage, value chain, five-forces industry analysis, blue ocean strategy, digital and AI (Artificial Intelligence) business model canvases. We consider both the venture capitalist's perspective and the viewpoint of the CEOs of established industry leaders who are facing disruption. Students will form teams to develop, present and share strategies for their own industry and companies of interest.
