Unit description
Digital innovation is disrupting markets, organisations and management itself. It is an important means for creating value for customers and a necessary aspect of a modern manager’s mindset. Managers have to be able to critically evaluate the nature and significance of digital technology to understand unfolding trends and avoid fads. Digital innovation also offers new techniques and tools for effective organisational management in dynamic environments. In this unit, students will develop the knowledge and skills required to manage technology and innovation. They will learn to reconceptualise how business is done with technology to promote sustainable business performance, research and design solutions to enhance decision making, and manage innovation. |
