Navigating Innovation and Change: Fundamentals
This module brings the latest insights from the areas of innovation and organisational change management and aims to equip students with the knowledge and tools to navigate key challenges within this space. Its focus is to develop understanding of fundamental concepts, developed through critical appraisal of cases to examine how innovation theory manifests within continuously evolving and complex contexts.
With a focus on co-creation of value, the module will examine approaches to the realisation of new goods, services and processes. Set against a backdrop of rapid technological, global, social and cultural change, students will examine innovation, organisational culture and change through the multidisciplinary perspectives of management, psychology, economics and sociology.
Successful companies and organisations of all sizes are typically characterised by innovation and the ability to be agile. This is increasingly important in today¿s global marketplace but brings with it challenges to product and service development, as well as change in organisational structures, operations and human behaviour. This module will equip students with the knowledge and skills to engage in the effective development of new products and services delivering value through navigating the innovation lifecycle, open collaboration and developing organisational structures that support rapid and sustainable change.
The module is divided into five key themes, the first three of which are a focus for Part 1, with further development and two further themes developed in co-requisite module, Part 2:
[1] A review and critical evaluation of key theories of innovation, strategy and core processes
[2] Innovation networks and multidisciplinary approaches
[3] Disruptive forces
These will be developed further, with focus on application for innovation in Part 2
[4] People, culture and change
[5] Product and service design agility
Based on this learning, students will develop a business case to successfully navigate and overcome a series of contemporary challenges in the pursuit of new product or service development. Part 1 provides the ability to work with fundamental concepts and theories, relating them to real-world concepts. This provides the foundation for Part 2, where students can move onto more application-focused concepts of development.
This authentic assessment reflects practice across sectors, and allows the full range of learning outcomes to be tested.
The module will develop managerial skills, synergistic thinking, critical evaluation and research skills. Students are required to think beyond the current parameters of business subjects to endorse their work. The module is also highly complementary to strategic and leadership elements of the MBA programme.
