Content
The objective of this class is to introduce the main conceptual frameworks, analytical tools and issues related to the management of innovation and its implications, in particular regarding new ventures.
We also address some key implications of innovation management regarding opportunity identification, assessment and implementation.
Finally, we also introduce students to the challenges of consensus-based decision-making in uncertain and ambiguous environments
Class structure:
1. Build a shared vision of innovation
1.1. Why it matters : innovation management capabilities (out of scope – see LSMS 2116)
1.2. Innovation as a business: more than creativity
1.3. Innovation as a process: beyond ideation
1.4. Innovation typology: more than new products
1.5. Innovation strategies: beyond new product development (out of scope – see LSMS 2116)
1.6. Drivers of innovation strategies: beyond hype (out of scope – see LSMS 2116)
2. Manage entrepreneurial ecosystems (out of scope – see LSMS 2043)
3. Identify attractive innovation opportunities
3.1. Identify the sources of innovations – beyond R&D
3.2. Foster organizational learning – beyond ideation
3.3. Harvest and protect organizational knowledge assets (out of scope – see LSMS 2041 and LSMF2011)
3.4. Integrate external sources of knowledge
4. Develop a balanced portfolio of business models
4.1. Business model design – asking the right questions
4.2. Designing competitive business models – why and what
4.3. Mobilizing the right resources – who and how much
4.4. Valuating innovative business models – quantifying the unquantifiable
4.5. Building a consistent and balanced innovation portfolio
5. Implementation: fail fast and win big
5.1. Nimble execution: learn cheaply and adapt quickly
5.2. Lean development - more brain, less storming
5.3. Smart money - funding innovation projects (out of scope – see LSMS 2043)
