These cases and supporting lectures are used to give students a clear view of how information technology can change the capabilities of an organization and thereby support the organization's strategy. A wide range of organizations is studied, including product-based, service-based and public sector. Each case is discussed from the general manager's perspective and emphasizes lessons learned in a framework developed specifically for this course.
