*SEMINAR OBJECTIVES*

This doctoral seminar on digital innovation, transformation, and
entrepreneurship is designed to help doctoral students:

-       become familiar with the main research streams and contributing
scholars in digital innovation, transformation, and entrepreneurship;

-       develop a personal perspective on these topics; and

-       explore their relationship to other intellectual streams in
management disciplines such, as information systems, operations, marketing,
strategy and entrepreneurship.

In addition to covering a substantial part of the *digital* innovation,
transformation, and entrepreneurship research literature, the seminar also
covers relevant foundations of the broader social, management, strategy,
and economic literature on innovation, transformation, entrepreneurship
scholarship that will assist the participants in developing and writing a
seminar paper.

*MEETING STRUCTURE*

In preparation for each meeting, students need to review and synthesize the
assigned readings. Each student should be prepared to deliver a short,
provocative “conversation starter” that integrates the readings and shares
their *personal* insights. In addition to a critical and/or appreciative
review of existing work, the seminar emphasizes constructive discussions
aiming toward designing state of the art research studies that build on and
extend the related current body of knowledge. Conversations should aim to
start a lively discussion. You should  raise interesting questions, take
sides, and spark a debate. It is also an opportunity to formulate new
insights and rudimentary ideas.
