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.
