Managing the Innovation Process

1.5 units

The course takes the perspective that innovation is a core business process associated with survival and growth of the organization, and it should be managed as such. We view innovation broadly as a process of knowledge creation. Innovation creates new possibilities through combining different knowledge sets. This process is multi-stage and takes place under highly uncertain conditions. The course objective is to help develop for our students the needed managerial skills in managing the multi-stage process of innovation. We focus on the systematic management of innovation processes through careful resource commitment and management of involved uncertainties. There is no option to enroll in this course as a remote learner as this course will be taught only in person
