PHDBA 279C - Technology Dynamics And Firm Strategy is a class offered to doctoral students at UC Berkeley, and is a field requirement for PhDs in BPP at the Haas School of Business. This page details the course as it was taught by David Mowery and Ernesto Dal Bo, Rui deFigueiredo, and Steve Tadelis in the Fall of 2009. The course was broken into two parts: "The Economics Of Technological Innovation" and "Topics in Firm Strategy".
