Product Overview

The 2023 Academy Award-winning film Oppenheimer captured the story of the race to produce the first atomic weapons and end the Second World War. The “central plot” of the Ambicultural Strategy course at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business parallels the movie’s theme in a contemporary setting: how to confront and manage disruptive change—today driven by information technology and artificial intelligence—for the best possible outcomes. This is not a traditional MBA course. It teaches a brand new, flexible, and adaptive approach to strategy designed for our dynamic, ever-shifting business landscape. Putting to work the dual tools of ambicultural thinking and the power of one, ambicultural strategy empowers future leaders to tap an organization’s “one” purpose and leverage paradox to succeed in an environment of unprecedented challenge and opportunity alike.
