- Class Description:
- This course focuses on HOW organizations innovate and change. We focus on the sequence of events and issues that typically unfold as individuals, groups, and organizations engage in innovation and change initiatives. Knowing what issues and problems arise as the journey unfolds can help managers maneuver the process of organizational innovation and change. The course builds on the pioneering research findings from the Minnesota Innovation Research Program, as well as other studies. These findings show how the innovation journey unfolds in the development of a wide variety of new technologies, products, programs, and services, and what paths along this journey are likely to lead to success and failure. The course emphasizes building diagnostic skills and developing useful principles that may increase the odds of maneuvering organizational innovation and change journeys. Course Text
