LDR 7100 Managing Innovation and Change

This course approaches managing the innovation process through five levels of analysis: individual, team, organizational, industry, and societal. At each level of analysis, particular attention is given to the conditions under which innovation processes succeed and fail. The following areas will be reviewed: literature on the innovative process, the contribution of individuals, cross functionality, geographic dispersion, technical communication, intra- and inter-organizational networks, organizational characteristics, organizational learning and market changes. Students will be exposed to a variety of perspectives on innovation and will think about the conditions under which innovation may be supported.
