Join us in Bangkok for a taster lecture and Q&A hosted by LSE's Department of Management: Using generative AI for competitive advantage in business - some management challenges.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Professor Edgar Whitley will discuss the technological and organisational hurdles that businesses encounter when integrating AI into their operations. You’ll gain an understanding of how AI can be used to drive innovation and enhance competitive positioning, while also examining the practical concerns companies must address to make this technology work for them and wider society. 

This lecture will offer a taste of the research-driven education taking place at LSE, touching on some of the key questions that members of our community engage with and providing a glimpse into what it's like to be a student in the Department of Management. It’s an invaluable opportunity to explore how theory and practice come together at one of the world’s leading institutions for business and management studies.

After the lecture, you'll have the chance to ask questions about what it's like to study at LSE to Edgar and LSE alumni based in Thailand.

This event is suitable for anyone interested in undergraduate, study abroad, or graduate programmes across all teaching departments at LSE. As long as you have an affinity with the topic of the event, please do come along!

Please note that it will not be possible to discuss LSE's application and enrolment process (including entry requirements, application documentation, financial support, visa applications, and other related areas) in this event. To learn more about these areas and ask detailed questions, please register for our LSE Discovery Session for Thai students, which will take place on Friday 13 December 2024.
