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

game theory, evolutionary game theory, natural selection, application to innovation management

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

Give a lecture in every class. Exercises are assigned to students, if necessary. In the final day, groups are assign to students and group members discuss together the application of what they have learned to innovation management.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Introduction to this class Introduction to game theory:Nash equilibrium and its application learn game theory and evolutionary game theory which can help understand our society, and consider the application of them to innovation management
Class 2 Introduction to game theory:Nash equilibrium and its application learn the application of game theory to reality
Class 3 Introduction to game theory: Matching theory learn the application of game theory to reality, taking matching theory as an example.
Class 4 Introduction to game theory: social choice theory learn the application of game theory to reality, taking social choice theory as an example.
Class 5 Introduction to evolutionary game theory learn the basic evolutionary game theory
Class 6 Cultural Evolution learn Cultural evolution and consider how cultural evolution can be adapted into technology's evolution and diffusion.
Class 7 Theory in Natural selection and Ecology can be adapted into business and management in human society learn how theory in natural selection and ecology can be adapted into business and management
Class 8 Group discussion based on what the students have learned, the students discuss the application to innovation management
