Content
|
Strategic Management focuses on how strategic thinking and acting takes place under fundamental uncertainty. A promising conceptual approach to this issue is Karl E. Weick & Kathleen M. Sutcliffe: Managing the Unexpected: Assuring High Performance in an Age of Complexity. Research in Artificial Intelligence is interested in how artificial, natural and social systems cope with the uncertainty and openness of the real world; the recent discussion on embodied artificial intelligence is important here (Rolf Pfeifer & Josh Bongard: How the Body Shapes the Way we Think: A New View of Intelligence). The seminar has the goal of combining these two research perspectives and disciplinary approaches.
Structure
In an introductory session, the main topic of the seminar is discussed from both perspectives, Strategic Management and Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, the different working groups are organized. Thereby, a close collaboration of students from the University of St. Gallen and the University of Zurich is intended. In order to support the collaboration, the seminar will make use of current Web 2.0 technologies (provided by the Artificial Intelligence Lab of the University of Zurich) for group work, two feedback sessions as well as the final presentations, which will take place in Zurich.
Contextual studies are considered part of Contact Learning; thus, taking part properly requires implies regular attendance.
The seminar is a collaboration between the University of Zurich and the University of St. Gallen.
