Course description and aims

The purpose of Innovation Management I and II is for students to learn to think on their own about the conditions for producing social gains through actions to bring change. Therefore we don't simply give explanations of examples, as you would find in business books and business magazines. For students to innovate on their own, they must first discover and analyze a problem based on their own circumstances, and learn to consider feasible innovations. They must then validate criteria that hold up to existing theories and analyses, and be able to judge whether they can be used for implementing one's own innovation.

In Innovation Management II, students gain an understanding of basic concepts such as "open innovation", "the innovator's dilemma", "platforms", and "product architecture", as well as the conditions for producing them, through lectures and group work. Students will also gain a logical understanding of the relationship between technology and markets, through axioms.

Student learning outcomes

Students will gain an understanding of how most market phenomena are a connection between the front-end (the limits to producing technology which can actually be used) of technology and utility function. Students will gain an understanding of the basic concepts of product architecture.

Keywords

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow
