Project Management
Faced with emerging challenges and opportunities, organizations launch projects to formulate and implement responses. Such responses often occur as product innovation, process innovation, or other forms of acquiring new organizational capabilities. More generally, projects are a means of managing transition, particularly of a discontinuous nature. This course will examine concepts, techniques and perspectives of project management, with focus on product innovation and IT-driven, large-scale process innovation. The course will also give an overview of the Project Management Framework developed by the Project Management Institute.
