The course specifically focuses on management of strategic innovations which is innovations of business models. As the students specialize on digital technologies, the course pays considerable attention to digital business models. The course includes a combination of theoretical concepts, views, and approaches as well as analytical tools and practical instruments for strategic management of technological innovations. The course covers such topics as business models and their transformation, dynamics of innovations and technology markets, frameworks of external and internal strategic analysis, generic and innovative strategies, transforming companies for innovation strategy implementation.
Seminars are aimed at developing skills and abilities to apply analytical frameworks and develop practical instincts of strategic management.

*** Special considerations: When preparing papers and answers to tests, examinations and other tasks, it is not allowed to use information prohibited for children or prohibited for distribution on the territory of the Russian Federation. Papers and answers containing such information will be cancelled. By submitting written and oral answers and works, students agree to the possibility of their use within the educational process by publicly discussing, commenting, analyzing them orally or in writing during face-to-face classes or correspondence communications. All official communications between students and instructors are organizied through corporate email service or LMS. Additional communications channels (such as messengers) are allowed as informal means of correspondence only if they exclude transborder data trasmission.
*** Grading orientation: Grades of 8 imply explicitely and unambiguously demonstrated knowledge based on main, additional and recommended literature and materials. They are also reflect competencies related to practical application of all tools, techniques, and frameworks studied in the course following the recommendations and rules provided from the instructor. Some recommendations and rules from other sources may be insufficient to excellent grades, and in some instances be so incompatible with the content of the course that it may lead to significant decrease of answers' quality. The answers, written or oral, prepared with the help of artificial intelligence are allowed only if they are marked as produced by AI. As almost all questions and tasks within the course imply as specific answers as possible, the answers or their parts of general or generic nature will not be considered of high quality.
*** Literature and learning materials: Due to the limits of class hours reading and homework is the integral part of the course. Students are expected to read extensively main, additional, and recommended literature and materials (including videos). Good knowledge of the theoretical materials is crucial for full participation in discussion. Literature mentioned as main is necessary to satisfactory completion of the course. For higher levels, students are expected to learn from additional literature, and also additional and recommended sources and materials provided in the course program. More sources and materials will be announced during the classes. Realistically considering the informational constraints imposed by foreing institutions on Russian universities, including HSE, notable part of the knowledge necessary for excellent grades will be delivered through live interactions within lectures and seminars. Students are expected to take notes, actively study presentations and remember the content by participation in discussions.
