Course Title: Co-opetitive Dynamics and Platform Strategy

Today we are in a networked age. The key to success of a business relies more on the connection and interaction of community participants than ever before. Platform businesses such as Airbnb and Uber have transformed the economy over the last decade, but the biggest effects are yet to come.

Co-opetition is a revolutionary mindset/framework that combines competition and cooperation. Traditionally, businesses consider competitors as the most essential influencer in their daily operation. However, your competitor does not have to fail for you to win. The idea of complementors deserves closer attention for firms in creating a bigger pie of business value and producing win-win outcomes. The PARTS of co-opetition, Players, Added-value, Rules, Tactics and Scope, help firms examine and change the game of business.

In the meantime, each firm has a unique market profile and resource endowment. A given pair of firms may not pose an equal degree on threat/opportunity to each other. How firms interact with each other do matter, in terms of a series of Actions and Responses, based on their Awareness, Motivation, and Capability, the so-called AMC framework. As a result, co-opetitive dynamics becomes indispensable in the game of business.

Upon finishing this course, students are able to apply these new concepts to the practice of doing platform business with co-opetitive strategy. Be willing to take challenges and strive to play the unconventional games!

From the rise of large, machine- like bureaucracies in the 19th C. to the flat, networked firms of the late 1990s, different assemblages of people and technology have produced a rich ecology of organizational forms – multinationals, religious sects, Internet companies, R&D laboratories, army squads, etc. The academic study of organizations, or “organization theory,” examines these multifarious arrangements and how they influence the life of its members, as well as the markets and societies around them.

Course Title: Co-opetitive Dynamics and Platform Strategy

Today we are in a networked age. The key to success of a business relies more on the connection and interaction of community participants than ever before. Platform businesses such as Airbnb and Uber have transformed the economy over the last decade, but the biggest effects are yet to come.

Co-opetition is a revolutionary mindset/framework that combines competition and cooperation. Traditionally, businesses consider competitors as the most essential influencer in their daily operation. However, your competitor does not have to fail for you to win. The idea of complementors deserves closer attention for firms in creating a bigger pie of business value and producing win-win outcomes. The PARTS of co-opetition, Players, Added-value, Rules, Tactics and Scope, help firms examine and change the game of business.

In the meantime, each firm has a unique market profile and resource endowment. A given pair of firms may not pose an equal degree on threat/opportunity to each other. How firms interact with each other do matter, in terms of a series of Actions and Responses, based on their Awareness, Motivation, and Capability, the so-called AMC framework. As a result, co-opetitive dynamics becomes indispensable in the game of business.

Upon finishing this course, students are able to apply these new concepts to the practice of doing platform business with co-opetitive strategy. Be willing to take challenges and strive to play the unconventional games!

Organization Behavior and Theory

The course is oriented at informing your future academic and practical inquiry. Organization theory speaks to research in management, decision- making, strategy, microeconomics, sociology and political science. In addition, the present course differs from others in that it complements the graduate program at MBA and EMBA by promoting the dialogue between Organization Theory, Organizational Behavior and Management.

The first aim of this course is to give students an overview of the scientific literature in Organizational Behavior. We will deal with the historical development of the discipline and the main research topics of OB on the individual and group level. Doing this, the aim is to read contributions from the different disciplines contributing to OB research and to compare critically different approaches to a topic. At the end of the class, students should have an overview of the field and the different ways OB questions can be approached.

Secondly, organizations exert a central force in contemporary work and society. From the rise of large, machine- like bureaucracies in the 19th C. to the flat, networked firms of the late 1990s, different assemblages of people and technology have produced a rich ecology of organizational forms – multinationals, religious sects, Internet companies, R&D laboratories, army squads, etc. The academic study of organizations, or “organization theory,” examines these multifarious arrangements and how they influence the life of its members, as well as the markets and societies around them.

Co-opetitive Dynamics and Platform Strategy

Today we’re in a networked age. The key to success of a business rely much more on the connection, interaction, and community of multiple-sided participants than ever before. Uber, Airbnb, Alibaba, and WeChat and so on, all of these companies disrupt markets when they are built on platforms with associated network effect. Platforms have transformed the economy over the last decade, but the biggest effects are yet to come.

Traditionally, businesses consider competition as the most essential part in their strategy and daily operation. However, your competitor does not have to fail for you to win and conversely you don't have to fail either. Complements, in addition to substitutes, deserve closer attention in creating a bigger pie that can then be divided up to produce win-win outcomes. The PARTS of co-opetition from the game theoretical lens help examine the relevance of each piece of the framework - players, added value, rules, tactics, and scope.

In the meantime, each firm has a unique market profile and resource endowment. A given pair of firms may not pose an equal degree of threat or opportunity to each other in value generation and appropriation. How firms – actors and responders may interact with each other could be predicted from a detail look at a series of actions and responses according to their awareness, motivation, and capability. As a result, co-opetitive dynamics becomes indispensible in forming and implementing strategy.

Upon finishing this course, students are expected to be able to get acquainted themselves with new concepts and emerging practices of doing mobile, on-line platform business with co-opetitive strategy. Be willing to take challenges and striving to play the unconventional games!

Seminars on Organizational Behavior

Business and management scholars have only recently started to incorporate the developments in organizational theories (OT) and organizational behavior (OB) that address agency and change, for instance by considering the role of firms as institutional entrepreneurs (Kostova, Roth and Dacin 2008; Regner and Edman, forthcoming). At the same time, organizational scholars interested in these phenomena have only occasionally used the large and complex organization as a context to explore their ideas, despite the many characteristics that make large and complex organization particularly suitable for such research (e.g. Thornton, Ocasio & Lounsbury 2012). Since firms operate across borders nowadays, the OB and OT research context make theoretical issues such as institutional complexity, translation, and change particularly salient (see also Roth & Kostova, 2003). We therefore hope that this course will serve as a forum to identify and discuss the ways in which recent developments in OBs and organizational organizations can inform organization research, and in how, in turn, the organizational context could be used to develop and challenge OB and OT ideas.

We introduce conceptual and empirical papers on different aspects of new institutionalism and the large and complex organizations, as well as theorired related to OB, and are particularly interested in papers advancing synergies among literatures. For example, they may address the following themes:

• How can we usefully apply OB and OT concepts and insights to the firms?

• How does the OB and OT research context challenge institutional explanations? What are the limitations of institutional explanations?

• How can the OB and OT research context advance theories of firms?

• What are the qualitative, quantitative or mixed method strategies for capturing institutional phenomena in the OB and OT context?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a hot topic that studies how to create intelligence. It can be implemented by hardware or software. Fist of all, neural networks and deep learning are proposed to discuss. Then, fuzzy system is applied to neural networks. Fuzzy neural network attempts to exploit human-like knowledge that consists of a group of fuzzy IF–THEN rules. To create IF-THEN rules automatically, most methods adopt back-propagation to train parameters of fuzzy rules. FNN integrates the capability of fuzzy reasoning in handling uncertain information and the capability of neural networks in learning from processes. They have been successfully applied in areas such as pattern classification, control, and signal processing.

1. Seminars on Organizational Behavior

The course is oriented at informing your future academic and practical inquiry.

Organization theory speaks to research in management, decision- making, strategy, microeconomics, sociology and political science. In addition, the present course differs from others in that it complements the graduate program at MBA and EMBA by promoting the dialogue between Organization Theory, Organizational Behavior and Management.

The first aim of this course is to give students an overview of the scientific literature in Organizational Behavior. We will deal with the historical development of the discipline and the main research topics of OB on the individual and group level.
Doing this, the aim is to read contributions from the different disciplines contributing to OB research and to compare critically different approaches to a topic. At the end of the class, students should have an overview of the field and the different ways OB
questions can be approached.

Secondly, organizations exert a central force in contemporary work and society. From the rise of large, machine- like bureaucracies in the 19th C. to the flat, networked firms of the late 1990s, different assemblages of people and technology have produced a rich ecology of organizational forms – multinationals, religious sects, Internet companies, R&D laboratories, army squads, etc. The academic study of organizations, or “organization theory,” examines these multifarious arrangements and how they influence the life of its members, as well as the markets and societies around them.

2. Organization Behavior and Theory

Business and management scholars have only recently started to incorporate the developments in organizational theories (OT) and organizational behavior (OB) that address agency and change, for instance by considering the role of firms as institutional entrepreneurs (Kostova, Roth and Dacin 2008; Regner and Edman, forthcoming). At the same time, organizational scholars interested in these phenomena have only occasionally used the large and complex organization as a context to explore their ideas, despite the many characteristics that make large and complex organization particularly suitable for such research (e.g. Thornton,
Ocasio & Lounsbury 2012). Since firms operate across borders nowadays, the OB and OT research context make theoretical issues such as institutional complexity, translation, and change particularly salient (see also Roth & Kostova, 2003). We
therefore hope that this course will serve as a forum to identify and discuss the ways in which recent developments in OBs and organizational organizations can inform organization research, and in how, in turn, the organizational context could
be used to develop and challenge OB and OT ideas. We introduce conceptual and empirical papers on different aspects of new
institutionalism and the large and complex organizations, as well as theorired related to OB, and are particularly interested in papers advancing synergies among literatures. For example, they may address the following themes:

How can we usefully apply OB and OT concepts and insights to the firms?

How does the OB and OT research context challenge institutional explanations? What are the limitations of institutional explanations?

How can the OB and OT research context advance theories of firms?

What are the qualitative, quantitative or mixed method strategies for capturing institutional phenomena in the OB and OT context?

1. Co-opetitive Dynamics and Platform Strategy

Today we’re in a networked age. The key to success of a business rely much more on the connection, interaction, and community of multiple-sided participants than ever before. Uber, Airbnb, Alibaba, and WeChat and so on, all of these companies disrupt markets when they are built on platforms with associated network effect. Platforms have transformed the economy over the last decade, but the biggest effects are yet to come.

Traditionally, businesses consider competition as the most essential part in their strategy and daily operation. However, your competitor does not have to fail for you to win and conversely you don't have to fail either. Complements, in addition to substitutes, deserve closer attention in creating a bigger pie that can then be divided up to produce win-win outcomes. The PARTS of co-opetition from the game theoretical lens help examine the relevance of each piece of the framework - players, added value, rules, tactics, and scope.

In the meantime, each firm has a unique market profile and resource endowment. A given pair of firms may not pose an equal degree of threat or opportunity to each other in value generation and appropriation. How firms- actors and responders- may interact with each other could be predicted from a detail look at a series of actions and responses according to their awareness, motivation, and capability. As a result, co-opetitive dynamics becomes indispensable in forming and implementing strategy.

Upon finishing this course, students are expected to be able to get acquainted themselves with new concepts and emerging practices of doing mobile, on-line platform business with co-opetitive strategy. Be willing to take challenges and striving to play the unconventional games!

2. Business News and Analysis

This course aims to facilitate a friendly all-in-English learning environment with an emphasis on exposure to the newly emerging business models and the behaviors of entrepreneurs. Students in any academic backgrounds or grade-year levels, who are interested in learning venturing process, entrepreneurial leadership, and management practices in today’s network economy, are all greatly welcome. A free online collaborative Mindmap tool (Coggle) and two massive open online courses (MOOCs) will be integrated to help students analyze, discuss and orally present business news and cases as a team learner.
Upon finishing this course, students are expected to feel strongly confident about their English learning and presentation skills and knowledge of business and entrepreneurship at the same time.

3. Advanced Strategic Management

This course covers both the foundations and advanced aspects of strategic management and is conducted as an English-taught course. Complemented with lecture videos and quizzes drawn from leading massive open online courses (MOOCs), provided by the renowned professors in the top universities, on Coursera, students will learn how to evaluate environmental changes, assess organizational conditions, and formulate and implement corporate and business strategies to build and sustain competitive advantages. Meanwhile, students who are interested in earning certificates from Coursera can be familiarized with the full process of registration and online learning in a collaborative way under the instructor’s guidance locally.

4. Case Studies on Multinational Corporations

Today we’re in a networked age. Globalization is a form of network. In addition to the networks of telecommunication, transport and trade, social interactions, payment and information flows around the world are present anywhere, anytime by connecting everyone.

Traditional multinational corporations (MNCs) enter international markets majorly through the brick-and-mortar investment and operation. However, software-centered, on-line and on-demand services usually expand to the entire globe at virtually zero marginal costs. To scale up fast, faster than your competitors, and to reach a certain scale to be valuable is the key for the start-up company to reach a winner-takes-most position. Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, Alibaba, and LinkedIn are some examples of unicorns, valued over US$1 billion. What we’ve learned from giant MNCs before may just have little value in analyzing and directing product-market fit and blitzscaling in today’s mobile connected economy. Building a company, scaling it up and expanding business at speed have no playbook to follow. That is why the case method of learning works best on these new practices, problems and processes for new ventures to survive, be superior, and to sustain. The case method in learning business analysis and management decision-making can be traced back to what Harvard Business School in 1912 designed to teach by senior professors or/and veteran industry executives. Each case would include the industry background, company history, market context, product portfolio, business model, entrepreneurs or executives, and the problems or challenges to overcome. Upon finishing this course, students are expected to be able to get acquainted themselves with new ideas of doing international business and with new ways of building competitive advantages by blitzscaling. Be willing to take challenges and striving to play the unconventional games.

Innovation Strategies of Emerging Industries

The rise of emerging industries is often triggered by a series of innovative activities. However, the high degree of uncertainty associated with innovation poses a very high risk to the investors of emerging industries; on the other hand, because the rigidity and inertia of the existing incumbent, it brings the best opportunity for investors in emerging industries to enter the market. Therefore, the rise of emerging industries is a market opportunity and challenge for market incumbents and newcomers. How do newcomers in emerging industries look for market entry points? How to strengthen capabilities to enhance competitiveness? How do the existing incumbents in the market enter emerging industries? What are the challenges? How to overcome? And why are successful companies prone to failures in the face of new innovation challenges? The purpose of this course is to understand the reasons for above problems through the discussion of innovative cases, and to find out the management implications, and then develop effective management tool.

Across all the topics, identity, cultural politics as well as social justice will be our primary concerns. We aspire to approach in what ways all the different people in the world today are gendered, how their gendered experiences have impacts on their personal and social lives, what theories there are to study those experiences, and in what ways we can do to better our life.
