EMPL 6835  Leading AI-Enabled Enterprise  1.5 Credits  
Leading the AI-Enabled Enterprise is designed for students who expect to use, lead, evaluate, oversee, or govern AI initiatives rather than design AI systems themselves. The course focuses on strategic judgment, organizational integration, governance, and risk—while providing hands-on experience using and building contemporary AI tools. The course is intentionally non-coding and explicitly complementary to more technical analytics and data science courses. It focuses on how best to use AI, including when AI should and should not be used, how it reshapes managerial accountability, and how it should be governed inside complex enterprises. And it enables students to gain hands-on experience of building and deploying simple AI tools, so that they can be comfortable with the underlying thought process.

EMPL 6876  Global Business and Society  0.75 Credits  
Many observers have noted growing signs of difficulty in the traditional ‘shareholder’ model of capitalism. The premise of that model that a corporation’s only responsibility is to its shareholders. The sole duty of the corporation is to maximize profits. However, climate change, growing income inequality, unemployment, and the slow economic recovery from the financial crisis have many questioning that limited purpose and espousing a much broader role for business in society, embodied in the concept of ‘stakeholder capitalism’. The core thesis of the Society and Business course is that corporations serve a broad public purpose: to create value for society. All companies must make a profit for their owners. If they did not, they would not long survive. However, corporations create many other kinds of value as well. They’re responsible for professional development for their employees, innovative new products for their customers, and generosity to their communities. They must partner with a wide range of individuals and groups in society to advance collaborative goals. Corporations have multiple obligations and all stakeholder interests should be taken into account. The course will examine the evolving nature the corporation’s role and responsibility in creating a healthy and just society.
