| New Fall Elective: Strategy Execution and Digital Transformation (MGT 6474) |
In Mod 2, I will be offering an expanded version of a new elective focused on strategy execution and digital transformation. In core strategy, you learned how to conduct both external and internal analysis—using frameworks to guide strategic decision-making. In this course we will drill down to explore strategy execution, focusing on the key operations of the business. We will learn a framework to help implement strategies by characterizing and ranking objectives, and identifying and monitoring success metrics.
Today, nearly every organization is working on digital transformation projects, but past data indicates that more than half of these initiatives will fail. We will examine cases of transforming companies (legacy and digital natives) to uncover potential obstacles and successful approaches. We will also see the importance of having an AI-resilient infrastructure, along with the best technologies, processes, and culture to foster success.
–Professor M. Eric Johnson

| Apply to be a 2nd Year MBA Recruiting & Admissions Fellow |
The MBA Recruiting and Admissions Team is accepting applications for 2nd Year MBA Recruiting and Admissions Fellows. Fellows play a large part in the MBA admissions process and enhance the connection between current students and prospective students.
The role of the 2nd Year Recruiting & Admissions Fellow includes:
• Conducting candidate interviews and providing feedback to the MBA Recruiting & Admissions Team

The position requires:
• Commitment for the academic year.
• Dedication to the Vanderbilt MBA Program mission.
• Obligation to maintain professionalism and confidentiality.
• An average of 3-5 hours a week. Fewer hours will be needed during off-cycle times, and more hours might be needed during busier times.

• Attendance at all training sessions and calibration meetings.
If interested, please submit an application via the link below. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2024. For questions, please reach out to Bailey McChesney at bailey.mcchesney@vanderbilt.edu or Colleen Pagnani at colleen.a.pagnani@vanderbilt.edu.
