Course description and aims
In the 21st century, we are experiencing a shift to a knowledge driven economy. The source of competitiveness has changed from production efficiency towards differentiation, creativity and innovation. How innovations can be stimulated in all sectors from micro to macro levels are critical issues of concern.
The course aims that students learn basic concepts related to SSI (Sectoral Innovation Systems) and NSI(National Systems of Innovation).
The course relates to the various agenda concerning innovation related networks, sector or a nation. Based on empirical research findings, systems of innovation in sectors such as information and communications, robotics, mobile telecom, nanotechnology, high tech and service sectors are studied. National System of Innovation in the UK, EU, US and Catching up countries in South East Asia will be studied. The Professor will use case studies to illustrate the concepts.
Student learning outcomes
Students will acquire the knowledge and expertise to analyse various sectoral innovation systems, including innovation models, technology diffusion mechanisms, innovation related networks, major technological trajectories related to different sectors and how to overcome the Valley of Death. In addition, students will be able to acquire knowledge to analyze National Systems of Innovation and will be able to understand contrasting models such as the Silicon Valley model, the EU model、Innovation policy in the UK, catching up strategies in South East Asia.
Keywords
