3 Credits

This course explores several emerging trends in the technology management and innovation arena in the past decade. These trends include the advent of digital-based innovation in the late 1990s, which has affected profoundly how many firms conduct business; the effect of the crash of the NASDAQ in March 2000 and the September 11 attack that affected corporations, which then had to operate within major economic and creative constraints; the development of the concept of networks as it relates to a firm’s organization and strategy; the development of the wireless technology platform and its effect on technology innovation; and the development of a new innovation paradigm that suggests a relationship between information technology, creativity and business practices. The course emphasizes classroom discussions and team-based and individual projects.
