Management of Innovation - MGSM897
The objective of this unit is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the process of innovation and its management within the Australian and international context, a private sector corporation or government instrumentality, an 'old economy' or 'new economy'. The unit takes a senior/middle management perspective in covering the management of the 'fuzzy front end' of the innovation process where problems are identified and new ideas are generated. It examines the innovation process and new technology-based ways of speeding it up, reducing its cost and improving its success rate in the development of new processes, services, software and physical products. It also examines how effective innovation is achieved through a style of project management and organisational structures that involve the collaboration of individuals and the cooperation and coordination of the groups and functions of the organisation.
