MSIS 620L - Emerging Technologies

3 Credits

This course will enhance and develop the students’ knowledge in the management of emerging technologies, how they evolve, how to identify them and the effects of international, political, social, economic, and cultural factors on them. We will address why the management of emerging technologies are a “different game” from more mature technologies. This course will be a critical element in the students’ ability to better manage the “process of technology-based innovation.” We will discuss the management challenges posed by emerging technologies at the point where scientific research reveals a technological possibility and goes all the way to the commercialization of the technology into lead markets.
