Course description and aims

This course teaches how modeling and simulation help understand innovation management. The aim of this course is to acquire analytical skills which are required to learn and to conduct research on technology management.
Modeling and simulations are good tools to grasp the essence of individuals and organizations. In this course, the students will learn and exercise the methodology of simulations and modeling.

Student learning outcomes

In this course, the students will learn:
1) how to grasp the cause-and-effect relationship in innovation management and make a model to describe it qualitatively and quantitatively.
2) how to analyze models.
3) how to interprete the results properly by comparison with practice.

Keywords

differential equation, numerical analysis, game theory, evolutionary game theory, optimization theory, agent-based simulation

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow
