About the Course

Innovation strategy is about creating unique value for consumers by delivering a great product that satisfies their needs. This course introduces the fundamental strategy concepts and tools that enable firms to manage technological innovations for competitive advantage. It does so by first considering the sources of technological change and how to leverage technologies to create firm value. It then examines the various mechanisms for extracting value from technologies, both legal (e.g., patents, trade secrecy, etc.) and strategic (e.g., lead time, complementary assets, etc.). We will explore the fundamentals of technology strategy through readings and case studies in both established and entrepreneurial firms across a range of technology-based industries. You will be able to: - Learn fundamental strategy concepts and frameworks for technology-based firms - Apply theories and frameworks toward the analysis and formulation of strategies for creating and capturing value through technological innovations - Develop an ability to think strategically and make decisions under uncertainty and risk - Develop skills in performing analytic research and preparing professional reports - Develop skills in managing diverse teams and working under time and resource constraints This course is part of Gies College of Business’ suite of online programs, including the iMBA and iMSM.

Thanks to all the team

I'd really have valued recommendations for some (optional) textbooks to go along with this course--I find learning via video to be fairly inefficient for retention, and would love to have texts to augment. I do appreciate the inclusion of full transcripts with slides, but "made for print" content still differs substantially from "made for video" content, and I often wished for the former while going through this course.

As someone with no commercial or entrepreneurial background, I can assure you that this is the course that will propel you to new ideas and creative ways of thinking. The language is really simple, the quizzes are short and easy and the summary at the end of each module is very helpful. You also get to interact with other learners at the same time and gain an insight into their knowledge from the course.

As a Quality Management professional, this course highlighted how understanding the needs and expectations of the customer, and creating a unique customer value proposition help deliver products and/or services that satisfy, or even delight, the customer. Building and sustaining an innovative organisation is linked to customer needs and expectations.

Very helpful learning program for improve of basic knowledge. when we are working then it seems that what we are doing is the best. Especially when you have been working for 8-10 years. But when such a learning platform is available, it seems that a lot needs to be changed now.

Excelente programa. Me gustó los resúmenes al final de cada módulo. Como recomendación, sugiero incluir una infografía por curso o módulo con los términos y gráficos principales para recordarlos fácilmente y tenerlo a la mano.

Dense, but very useful. Could be a somewhat steep learning curve for some, with several concepts covered. Practical, I have already used several parts in my daily work, that has impact on how we work with innovation.
