Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to: Demonstrate knowledge of ideas and approaches to technology and innovation management (TIM); critically understand the nature of the "knowledge landscape" - that is, what is established knowledge; where the open questions are; where the active research front currently is; and what analytical perspectives are available. Demonstrate a critical appreciation about how TIM relates to the students' own disciplines; and be able to show creativity in identifying insights from their past courses or work experience for application in TIM contexts. Apply concepts and approaches from TIM in determinate organisational circumstances, critically reviewing specific topics and making informed judgements about their applicability in uncertain situations. Improve the ability to work effectively in teams, while taking responsibility for own work and showing leadership and initiative in dealing with complex issues in a professional manner. Develop the ability for identifying issues, applying critical analysis and developing creative responses to innovation challenges effectively presented in persuasive reports and presentations.
