Professor Deepak Somaya’s Technology Strategy: Creative Destruction course exceeded every expectation I had for an accessible yet deeply insightful introduction to modern tech strategy. I originally sought a course that my team could easily absorb, but his clarity, structure, and compelling delivery drew me in so completely that I finished the entire specialization in just four days of focused study. What makes Prof. Somaya exceptional is his ability to demystify complex strategic concepts—disruption, competitive dynamics, platform shifts, and innovation cycles—without oversimplifying them. He connects theory to real strategic decision‑making in a way that feels immediately usable for leaders navigating fast‑moving technological change. This learning could not have come at a better time. As I lead the Agentic AI transformation for my team at Microsoft, the frameworks from this specialization have sharpened my ability to anticipate disruption, design strategic responses, and guide my organization through the next wave of AI‑driven change. I now feel significantly more equipped to articulate the strategic rationale behind our Agentic AI initiatives and to help my team understand the broader forces shaping our Silicon Virtualization Platform evolution. A truly outstanding course for anyone responsible for steering technology strategy in an era defined by rapid creative destruction

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.

EL curso es bastante completo a pesar de tener un nivel introductorio. Fue una buena forma de mostrarme que si tengo interés en aprender más sobre innovación tecnológica.

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.

Good introduction to the theory technological innovation and disruption; however, in practice, it may vary.

Great lecturers and cases. A bit short, but a good introduction to the topics.

Great, yet some materials were kind of old.

Great - thanks for these insights.

I paid for this, and the honors work is still not graded.
