課程介紹
This course considers the subject of innovation from a number of viewpoints in with particular regard to the challenge it poses to the creation of knowledge in various fields. The importance of innovation to both private and public sector organizations in order to survive and prosper in an increasingly competitive environment and the various strategies available to development of those organizations will be explored. As with all classes, the plan may change to allow for a flexible and responsive approach to the subject, but the aims and objectives of this course will remain the same. Readings and discussion will then emphasize the technological innovation process and the diffusion as well as management of innovations within and outside organizations and countries.
