Innovations and Knowledge Transfer 4030-IKT
The course will offer an overview of innovation processes (supply-push and demand pull), types of innovations (architectural, radical, disruptive, incremental) main theories of innovation, market strategies adopted by innovative technology companies. Moreover, the course will cover the topic how the concept of sustainable innovation management applies to different areas of business.
In module II the following topics will be covered: key issues related to the technological revolution, technological trends and technology management; discussion of the importance of new technologies in society, economy and sustainable development; presentation of the technology life cycle and technology licensing.
Furthermore, in module III, issues of knowledge transfers (absorptive capacity, comparative advantage) and knowledge enablers will be analyzed.
Moreover, methods to manage the tacit knowledge (model SECI) will be presented. The students will get acquainted with the up-to-date research relating innovations, new technologies and knowledge transfer to sustainable development. Building upon case studies of companies, knowledge management strategies (codification and personalization) will be discussed.
