Overview
It is suitable for anyone interested in developing or improving their skills and expertise in this area.
The need for ongoing technological innovation has become a strategic necessity for many organisations. Even in traditionally stable sectors, the option of maintaining the status quo is seldom viable.
This creates challenges for how organisations acquire and manage the resources and capabilities necessary for effective approaches to innovation and create and maintain contexts that support strategic action.
This Strategic Capabilities for Technological Innovation module at The Open University UK is relevant if you are involved or interested in the development and management of technological innovation in a wide variety of contexts and sectors as diverse and varied as:
- IT/IS
- telecommunications
- computing
- engineering
- manufacturing
- transport and logistics
- retailing
- energy production and supply
- defence and security,
- management and administration
- any form of services, including health, welfare and leisure.
In all these fields, and more, the major theme of this module - the importance of strategically planning and managing a range of organisational resources and capabilities to deliver technological innovation - is central to the effective and successful operation of organisations of any size and purpose.
