Course description
Innovation is at the heart of the survival and growth of companies, but it is a tricky business. Even well-established companies lose their edge as a result of their inability to manage innovation. Clearly, there is no “one best way” to manage innovation. With the rise of open innovation paradigms, the pathways to innovation have multiplied significantly, posing further challenges for how to strategically engage distributed actors - both internal and external - for gaining access to new knowledge and new markets. In this project-based seminar, we will explore open and online approaches to organizing and innovating and how these have permeated various industries giving rise to “crowdsourcing”. Through cases derived from original research, the course unveils concepts and frameworks that explain how organizations are transforming, how they engage “crowds” online, as well as the antecedents and consequents of these developments in business practice.
