Solmaz Filiz Karabag

Professor

My research focuses on the dynamic capabilities and strategies that will transform businesses to meet the digital, data, business analytics, AI-driven disruptions.

Presentation

I primarily analyze the role of technology-, industry-, and market-dynamics in organizational strategies, capabilities, innovation and R&D. Those dynamics have formed my current research in digital business transformation, the integration of digital technologies, data driven innovation, and AI into all areas of businesses. Such integrations will fundamentally change how leading and established businesses operate, create, and deliver value to customers.
