BMAN62042 Programme Req: BMAN62042 is only available as an elective to students on MSc IME

This elective focuses on the management dilemmas posed by technological innovation and the tools and techniques that can be used to tackle those dilemmas. The elective considers how, by successfully harnessing innovation, businesses can open-up new markets and develop new ways to serve existing customers. The elective also considers how the rapid pace of technological change can threaten established businesses and undermine existing business models, how new entrants to markets can leverage these opportunities to establish themselves in an industry - and how established businesses can respond.

After successfully completing the course, participants will be familiar with the issues that arise for the managers of global companies in the formulation of technology strategy and the management of technology and will have an understanding of the main academic literature and key concepts relating to company strategy and management as it relates to technology. Participants will have undertaken a group project to develop actionable recommendations for a technology strategy issue and made a group presentation. Participants will also have drawn upon lectures and selected literature and used – where relevant – current academic and management models and concepts and synthesised this material for inclusion in an individual assignment.
