DYNM 692 - Innovation in Organizations

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Freeman. In this course we will try to understand innovation through different levels of analysis including individual, team, network, organizational, and industrial.The primary goal of the course is to expose students to a variety of perspectives on innovation, while building on past work experiences and preparing for work experiences in the future. At each level of analysis, we will try to understand conditions under which innovation processes succeed and fail. The weekly readings consist of a mixture of book chapters, journal articles, and cases. An outline forum is planned for further discussion of the required readings outside of class, and as the basis for class discussion. Classes will employ reflection exercises and entail critical thinking about the topic for the week, case analyses completed in small groups, and other activities and lectures introducing material found both within and outside of the readings. An overnight trip to Harvard University or MIT is being arranged to expose students to innovative practices and leading-edge thought at other research institutions.
