Course Objectives: | This course is designed to lead the student to understand the link between technology and competition at the industry level. Competitiveness of industries and nations co-evolves with technological changes. We can identify different approaches in the technology and innovation management literature towards the link between technology and competitiveness strategy at meso and macro level. At the end of this course the it is aimed that students will have knowledge on these different approaches to innovation and competitiveness at industrial and national level. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; After completing this course students will be able to: I. Be familiar to theoretical approaches which deal with the linkages between technological innovation and competitiveness at sectoral and national levels. II. Understand the concepts and characteristics of national, sectoral and regional innovation systems and develop awareness about the importance of sectoral and national innovation policies and strategies. III. Have knowledge about networks and economics of networks IV. Be familiar to technology transfer and the processes of technology transfer, be able to manage technology transfer processes. V. Be informed about the problems related technological innovations, technology development and technology transfer in developing countries. |
This course will focus on the relationship between technological innovations and competitiveness. First, the theoretical approaches which are used to understand the linkages between technological innovations and competitiveness at the sectoral and national levels will be reviewed. Among these approaches the systems of innovation approach is especially focused on. After the review of the systems of innovation approach, innovation clusters and networks will be studied, how clusters and network influence new technologies and the emergence of innovations. In this course, international technology transfer and university-industry technology transfer processes will also be discussed. |
