Innovation in power point

The academic paper is intended to give you an opportunity to show that you are capable of applying your knowledge of managing innovation and technology transfer, not only in describing the issue faced by the commercial sector, but also in explaining it and justifying your proposed actions for improvement

Whilst the questions states ‘to manage an innovation project’ we appreciate that due to time constraints and organisational access, it would be quite acceptable if students assumed the role of a consultant, team play, or observer.

This task requires us to document a key challenge an organisation is experiencing whilst implementing an innovation project. It is recognised that whilst a student will identify a core issue there will no doubt be a series of symptomatic issues which will also need to be addressed.

next week the programme you will be required to submit a formative proposal of 300-400 words detailing:

• Your proposed organisation and managing innovation and technology Transfer project and key challenge
• How you will address each learning outcome
