Innovation is increasing in speed and scope and becoming more disruptive with the digitization of business. The management of digital innovation can draw upon established innovation management concepts, but some existing approaches may have limited relevance and even be counterproductive. New concepts are emerging but their reach and effectiveness are yet to be tested. Therefore this course explores innovation management for products, services, and business models that incorporate digital technologies, with simultaneous attention for technology, process, organization, and industrial dynamics. The course will be organized around three interrelated topics: basic properties of digital innovation (e.g. layered modular architecture, digital materiality, digital platforms); industrial dynamics associated with digital innovation (industry disruption, network economics, ecosystems, and collaboration); and innovation processes for digital innovation (e.g. traditional and agile approaches, entrepreneurial approach). The work group sessions will center around assignments that will be organized as “course research.” Students apply concepts to real-life cases and examine the validity and usefulness of existing innovation management concepts as well as new theories focused on digital innovation.Lectures Workgroup sessionsIndividual assignmentsGroup assignments Peer evaluation ExamA list of academic articles will be provided via Canvas before the start of the course.This course is only open for students of the programs: Digital Business & Innovation Science, Business & InnovationBasic knowledge of innovation management and organization studies.
