BTC2030H: Management of Technological Innovation

In this course, we will define technological innovation as the process of leveraging new ideas to create economic value and deliver this value to shareholders, employees, consumers, and our society at large. This process involves critical strategic choices that are common to most organizations, from small startups to large established companies: What is the best way to bring an idea to the market, and to arrange production and distribution? How should we redesign our internal organisation, as well as the system of partnerships and relationships with external players? Should we redefine our vertical and horizontal boundaries, for example by outsourcing some activities or entering new geographical markets? Throughout the course, we will refine our ability to approach and find the best answer to these (and many other) questions. Using an applied and discussion-based method, we will learn how to effectively convert a creative idea into a valuable innovation.
