EDGE Course


Edge is the Merage School's new and ground-breaking course that explores how technology and globalization are transforming the business landscape. The course was launched with technology guru John Seely Brown along with Merage professors David Obstfeld (who organized and co-leads the course with Brown) and Senior Associate Dean Vijay Gurbaxani.

Brown challenged the students to contemplate the following trend: "In the 1920s, the life of a company listed on the S&P 500 was more than 75 years. Today it's only ten to 15 years. Why is this happening?"
