Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course examines how firms and ecosystems create, appropriate, and diffuse value from new knowledge. We define innovation as the successful implementation of novel ideas that generate economic or societal value; distinguish technology (the knowledge base enabling solutions) from innovation (its market or organizational realization); and study how firm boundaries, users, partners, and institutions shape these processes. Building on classic and contemporary research, the course develops conceptual clarity and methodological rigor for designing publishable studies in technology and innovation management.
Learning Objectives
- The objectives of the course Research in Technology and Innovation Management are to: (1) introduce students to key concepts and core research in the scholarly field of technology and innovation management, and (2) help them recognize promising research pathways in this field and at its intersection with other fields of research, such as strategic management, international business, marketing, HR and operations management.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Students will develop skills to discuss potential research directions, research limitations and methodology related concerns with their peers;
- Students will have comprehensive set of knowledge and skills that will enable them to explain and critically discuss the key theoretical concepts related to technology and innovation management;
- Students will improve their skills of clearly presenting and unambiguously communicating their research ideas in English, both orally and in writing;
- Students will improve their skills of conducting literature review and framing their research proposals;
- Students will learn to acquire knowledge and skills independently, creating the basis for the self-directed and autonomous life-long learning.
- Students will learn to identify research gaps in the field of technology and innovation management, as well as at its intersection with other related fields of research;
Course Contents
- Defining innovation
- Open innovation
- Co-creation with individual external contributors
- Intellectual property management
Assessment Elements
- In-Class Discussion 1In-Class Discussion 1 (15 points): Defining Innovation Discussion is focused on what counts as “innovation,” grounded in prior reading of three academic articles. The session clarifies core distinctions (innovation vs. invention), degrees of novelty, and contextual boundaries, culminating in a brief synthesis to establish shared terminology for subsequent course work. Important: Discussion points can be earned only through active participation during the scheduled class sessions. There is no retroactive fulfillment or substitution assignment for missed discussions.
- In-Class Discussion 2In-Class Discussion 2 (15 points): Open Innovation Discussion is focused on how firms create value through external knowledge flows. Based on three pre-read academic articles, it deals with inbound/outbound/coupled modes, absorptive capacity, and the governance choices in open innovation. Important: Discussion points can be earned only through active participation during the scheduled class sessions. There is no retroactive fulfillment or substitution assignment for missed discussions.
- In-Class Discussion 3In-Class Discussion 3 (15 points): Co-creation with Individual External Contributors Discussion is focused on co-creation with individual external contributors—crowdsourcing, lead-user innovation, online communities, and hackathons. Based on three pre-read academic articles, the session examines participant selection and incentives, contest design, quality assurance, and integration of external outputs—ending with a brief synthesis of best-practice choices. Important: Discussion points can be earned only through active participation during the scheduled class sessions. There is no retroactive fulfillment or substitution assignment for missed discussions.
- In-Class Discussion 4In-Class Discussion 4 (15 points): IP Management Discussion is focused on how intellectual property shapes innovation and collaboration. Based on three pre-read academic articles, the session covers IP rights and innovation (appropriability, signaling, knowledge markets), the paradox of openness, and terms & conditions for co-creation (licensing, contributor agreements, confidentiality, open-source clauses). Concludes with a brief synthesis of governance choices. Important: Discussion points can be earned only through active participation during the scheduled class sessions. There is no retroactive fulfillment or substitution assignment for missed discussions.
