In this course, we want to understand fundamental principles of value creation for the
consumers or the market. We try to answer questions like how the product or service
is made, how the value-creating activities or functions are coordinated, who should
play what leadership roles in realizing all these, and so on. As our course title hints,
we approach all of these issues from a learning perspective, which is dynamic in
nature and emphasizes long-term capability building rather than short-term
symptomatic problem solving.
