Digital and Sustainable Business Development

Introduksjon

Much of an organization's value creation - and certainly most of its competitive advantage - comes from innovation. Innovation can happen through changes in technology - how an organization does things - or in business models - how it gets paid. New technologies - computers, Internet, cell phones and most recently, AI, have introduced changes in the business environment that will necessiate changes in business models and business strategy. With the increasing focus on sustainability, new avenues of innovation open, both in increasing a company's sustainability performance and in creating new businesses with sustainability as their main offering. This course will explore theories and cases of innovation and technology evolution within a strategic and sustainable context, as well as the more theoretical concepts of dynamic organizational capabilities.
