About this course
You may have noticed that what is new often behaves differently than what has been generally accepted over time, be it in the marketplace, technology, or people and businesses. These general ideas are supported by numerous studies, and this course builds on them to help you develop an innovation management perspective. That is, you will develop your ability to lead and design your organization to effectively drive innovation initiatives and achieve your strategic goals.
To do this, you will explore a set of structures, tools, and concepts that will help you solve several major challenges in managing innovation. The first challenge relates to how to successfully implement innovative efforts within and alongside existing companies. Then, explore the specifics of innovation management when it comes to disruptive technologies. Other topics include leadership of teams for new product development, planning and evaluating innovation initiatives, and managing innovation outside of organizations, such as with alliances or virtual companies.
