Haitao Yin 3/11/2022 Shanghai Jiao Tong University Antai College of Economics and Management 001-AM371技术创新导论 Fall 2009 Haitao Yin Office:Antai North Building 402 Email:htyin@sjtu.edu.cn Office Hours:F 10:30am-12:00 pm Telephone:21-52302519 or by appointment Course Description: This course focuses on the strategic management of technology and innovation in the business environment-both new firms and established firms.The conceptual framework of the course is an evolutionary process perspective on technology strategy and innovation.The fundamental ideas underlying this perspective are: that a firm's technology strategy emerges from its technological competencies and capabilities, that technology strategy is shaped by external (environmental)and internal (organizational)forces,and ● that the enactment of technology strategy,through the experience a firm generates serves to further develop the firm's technological competencies and capabilities. This course draws on strategic management,economics,and organization theory for tools to address important challenges faced by managers in firms where technology is changing.This technology may be information,product,process and/or administrative. Course Objectives: To develop an awareness of the range,scope,and complexity of the issues and problems related to the strategic management of technology and innovation,this course is designed: To develop an understanding of the"state of the art"of the strategic management of technology and innovation To develop understanding about the process of bringing"newness"into an organization- through internal innovation and/or through external strategic alliances. To develop a conceptual framework for assessing and auditing the technology capabilities of a business organization. To develop insight concerning the skills necessary to be effective as a general manager in the innovation process and/or alliance building process
