Isenberg School of Management 890A - AI and Business

This doctoral seminar examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping business, organizations, and the nature of work. The course analyzes AI not merely as a technology but as a general-purpose technology with profound implications for competitive advantage, firm boundaries, innovation processes, individual cognition, team processes, the nature of work, and the structure of markets and institutions. The seminar integrates perspectives from strategy, organizational theory, economics of innovation, labor economics, information systems, and cognitive science. Students develop a research paper suitable for submission to a leading journal in their home discipline, emphasizing critical evaluation of existing literature, identification of research gaps, and development of novel theoretical contributions.

This course is open to doctoral students in the Isenberg School of Management.
