LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT INFORMATION 6a. Module Description This integrative module aims to develop critical awareness of contemporary issues in international business. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the ways in which technology is brought to market. It does this by focusing on key technology management topics from the standpoint of an established business as well as new entrepreneurial ventures. Strong emphasis is placed on frameworks and methods that are both theoretically sound and practically useful. It will provide students with both an understanding of the issues and the practical means of dealing with them in a business context. In this module students will discover and consider how to identify, discuss, evaluate and avoid the common pitfalls in managing innovation. It examines how large and small organisations have to fundamentally reorganise in order to innovate speedily and successfully. It assesses in what ways and to what extent globalisation has affected production, governance, societies and human knowledge and exposes students to developments in innovation management. Against the contemporary issues of the day, it encourages students to consider alternative measures and evaluate the technical and political challenges of their implementation. Module assessment comprises one 2000 word assignment and one 2000 word Report. 6b. Outline Content • Technology in the business context
