- Synopsis:
-
This course focuses on innovation in the context of the digital, software-intensive economy. Starting from a broader perspective on innovation, both mainstream theories and thinking on innovation, as well as alternative views from challengers, are discussed. This includes omnipresent innovation models in which IT-related innovations are adopted by startups and scaleups (eg. blockchains or drones) and making them available in certain business domains, which requires agility and speed of development at the software level. Also, disruptive innovation, where existing value chains are challenged, is discussed with its requirement for new levels of productivity in software development. Leading theories are discussed and illustrated with local and international cases using guest lectures.
Students of a master double degree specialisation Digital Business Engineering will attend this course during their stay at the partner university Antwerp.
