|
Strategic management of Innovation and Technology is about
understanding what creates competitive advantages through building
unique competencies. A certain strength is the one of innovative
capability, but also the management of technological development.
Technology is the knowledge area (logy) of techniques of products,
services and processes, how to create them and how to manage them,
not to be misunderstood as technique. Important areas that are
covered in the course are Technology as knowledge of
Products/Services and processes, Patterns of Industrial Innovation,
Developing the Innovative Capabilities and core competencies,
Sourcing and transfer of knowledge, Venturing processes, Systems
for Innovation, Managing from Research to development, Organizing
and utilizing global resources, Development strategy; Organizing
and Leading teams, Developing the Learning Organization. This is
dealt with both within and across cases analyses. Hence, along
with being able to do the analysis of the listed areas in the
individual firm, the student is supposed to be able to compare
and contrast cases covered in the course.
The course's development of personal competences: The students will develop their competences in acting as
managers and management consultants. They will have to analyze
complex situations based on complex but limited data, sort out what
is more and less relevant, apply what they get from literature,
develop alternative ways of action, make choices, recommendations
and propose action. The course aims at training skills for line
managers and management consultants.
Please be aware that this course is also part of a minor in Process and Innovation Management. |

| Teaching methods | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The format of this course is case based learning, often understood as the Harvard or Stanford Business School style; this involves high-energy discussion, debate, and interaction. Students are encouraged to bring their own views into discussion and to share learning with fellow students. By the end of the course, participants have developed and refined analytical skills and for presenting their arguments persuasive to others as a result of the discussion- and critique-oriented nature of the course. Groups are pre-determined prior to course start and students are to prepare 3 - 5 pages case analyses and upload them on Learn to exchange with the rest of the class. Theory is introduced by scientific articles and students will have to prepare case based sessions. The teacher acts as a facilitator of a range of alternative processes although with a well planned learning objective and outcome. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
