Course Objectives: | This course is designed to lead the student to understand the importance and the nature of technological innovations, how they are integrated into business level strategies and how technological innovation process is managed. In this course, the aim is not only to understand the theories of technological innovations but also to discuss the practice of technological innovation. Therefore case studies are important; most of the theoretical parts are followed by case studies. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; After finished this course students are expected to be able to * develop an awareness of the scope and complexity of technological innovations and issues in management of technology. * explain some main concepts such as types of innovation, open innovation, product life cycle; technology life cycle; dominant design; path dependency. * understand the process of creating technological innovations * be familiar with technological innovation strategy formulation and implementation * develop a strategic business thinking towards the use of technology in various sectors. * understand the tools and methods used in management of technology. Some of these tools are integrated into case analyses. |
