| Course Objectives: | This course focuses on the main subjects in the strategic management of technological innovations. The aim of the course is leading students to understand (i) the importance, nature and impacts of technological innovations (ii) the link between technological innovation strategy and general business strategy (iii) to be informed about the theories and practice of technology innovation management. 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. These cases are examples from real world; it is important to read, think about and discuss these examples in the classroom. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; After completing this course students will be able to: I. Develop an awareness of the scope and complexity technological innovations and issues in management of technology. II. Explain some main concepts such as types of innovation, open innovation, product life cycle; technology life cycle; dominant design; path dependency. III. Understand the process of creating technological innovations IV. Be familiar with technological innovation strategy formulation and implementation V. Develop a strategic business thinking towards the use of technology in various sectors. VI. Understand the tools and methods used in management of technology. Some of these tools are integrated into case analyses. |
Course Content
| In this course, first the nature of technological innovations, sources of innovations and the impacts of innovations at firm level will be discussed. Secondly, the evolution of technologies, stages of technological innovations, emergence of dominant design will be reviewed. After that we will focus on firm and firm strategy to develop technological innovations. In that part we will discuss the internal and external capabilities and resources of firms and the role of external linkages to create technological innovations. We will also review some other processes which are directly related to the innovation performance of firms such as managing creativity, R&D management, choosing innovation projects, protecting innovations. Finally we will focus on creating value through technological innovations and the commercialization of innovations . |
