Disruptive Innovation
This course aims to develop an innovation tool different from traditional method, and to promote the ability of student innovation. Its rise has mirrored an increasing interest and concern among both researchers and managers with interdependence across organizations and activities. This course gives a systematic approach to conceptualizing the innovation based on technological evolution route. It presents a clear definition of disruptive technology and a characterization of the distinctive aspects of disruptive strategy. This course offers some explicit cases of the disruptive innovation process that helps understand where disruptive technology should be used and how to use this effective innovation tools
