Very good information in this course. Professors Raj and Deepak did a very good job oe explaining key concepts, then backing them up with real-world examples. Made the concepts in the course very clear. This course shed a lot of light on hoe disruptive models come about, how a disruptive business model can usurp existing models and how to deal with it if you are an "existing model". Thanks for a great course and great information.

The professors' have a strong command of the subject matter, and the material was excellent. The presentations had me fully engrossed. I will be taking 'Customer Centric Innovation' and 'Managing Innovation: Ambidexterity, Teams and Leading Change' to complete the Strategic Technology Management Specialization. Thank you professors.

The course is timely in season where technology is increasingly introducing new ways of operating in business and forcefully putting to an end any old business that refuses to be dynamic , innovative and creative. This course is highly commendable for all people with an intent for or already in leadership in an organization.

This course offers a view on strategy from a technology management standpoint. The course content is very interesting. I think the older videos could be improved for example text on slides could be shown longer and the ddistracting music could be removed.
