Core course I
Innovation in chains and networks, with Finn Wynstra (BKM04MI), 2004-2007
In this course, very recent insights into the management of supply chains with regard to innovation and the management of creation and exploitation of innovations within networks of companies are discussed. Topics discussed are alliances in high-tech sectors, early-supplier involvement in new product development, new services in the supply chain, amongst others. All theories and concepts of all parts of the course will be discussed in relation to specific case-studies.
Electives
Innovation issues in high tech industries, with Ferdinand Jaspers (BKMME56), 2003-2007
This course has two main goals. First, this course aims to discuss in depth a number of critical managerial issues related to innovation in high-tech industries. High-tech industries are characterized among others by rapid technological change, large R&D expenditures, and high levels of market and technological uncertainty. Key issues for managers in these sectors include knowledge management, management of alliances and networks, and managing the product life cycle. Besides this content-related goal, the second goal of this course focuses on the participant’s research skills. More specifically, during this course each student is expected to perform and write a literature review. Preferably, the literature review contributes to the student’s master thesis project.
