Investigate pricing, consumer behavior, and platform strategy in commerce involving AI and human presenters.
The program develops research questions from an emerging commercial setting. Learners explore the roles of platforms, firms, and presenters, then use an appropriately scoped demand model, case analysis, or quantitative approach. The final work examines assumptions and strategic trade-offs rather than promising commercial performance.
