| Course Description |
Innovation is one of the two competitive strategies of organizations, and according to the resource-based approach, it is an important source of competitive advantage for organizations in industries with high levels of competition. However, innovation comes with risks along with the competitive advantage it provides, and organizations must take these risks into consideration when managing innovation. For this reason, while learning the concept of innovation and its relationship with technology, development and entry time and commitment allocation level strategies will also be learned to manage the risks of innovation. |
