The forthcoming edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA (Feb 9 – May 2, 2026) will feature a foundational new course: AI Management. The objective of this course is to provide business students and leaders with the strategic understanding required to deploy, utilize, and govern AI systems for measurable improvements in productivity and the execution of business objectives.
Central to this course is the Tekedia AI Centricity Framework. This model asserts that optimal AI deployment is achieved when systems are strategically aligned with the core stakeholders: customers, workers, IT teams, and partners. Successful execution is directly correlated with this integrated organizational approach.
Furthermore, we will explore the critical economic differences of AI. Due to persistent inference costs, the typical asymptotic relationship between output and marginal cost seen in conventional software where marginal cost decreases with scale does not hold true in the AI domain. This necessitates a distinct management framework for pricing and sustaining AI products. Yes, pricing AI systems must be evolved because AI cost elements do not follow typical software paths!
In preparation, the current Tekedia Mini-MBA included introductory technical course – Building and Managing AI Agents – which was well received by our co-learners. We believe business students must grasp the creation phase of AI agents to become effective AI managers.
The next Tekedia Mini-MBA will offer an expanded and cutting-edge curriculum including AI Management.
