  • 1.  Undergraduate Innovation course recommendations - Shark Tank

    Posted 11-11-2013 11:31
    Hello Kevin,

    Are you familiar with the TV show "Shark Tank"? We simulated that in class a few days ago.
    Students were invited to bring their favorite soup recipe.
    The few who did became team captains to create a new startup business (after the lecture on the topic).
    The few who had watched Shark Tank became members of the venture capital (VC) panel.
    Brief articles in bundles on either startups or VC processes were distributed so each team member read at least one out of their respective bundle. Then planning by teams began. After 20 minutes. Presentations began.

    The VC panel role played well, including making of competitive offers to the entrepreneurial teams. One team proposed opening a local soup restaurant but chose the offer by the VC who funded that and bought the distribution rights to their special soup. Another team proposed a new kind of canned soup, and chose the offer of the VC who had distribution channels available and who bought the distribution rights to their special soup and its innovative way of preserving chicken in a can. The dialogue looked a lot like the TV show. It gave the students a brief sample of life with startups as innovations.

    Hope that's useful.

    Dear TIM community,

     

    Can you recommend any simulations or games available that are effective for an undergraduate strategic innovation course?

     

    I am a doctoral candidate developing a new elective for our undergrads.  I am putting together the syllabus and am interested in something other than just the case discussions.  It could be on any area within innovation as I am developing the topics for the course right now.

     

    Do you have recommendations for what you have used or what is fun for a class of this nature? 

     

    I appreciate any thoughts,

     

    -Kevin

    Dear Kelvin and all,

     

    I have a PIPE model for teaching Innovation and Entrepreneurship at undergraduate and master levels. It distinguishes and then integrates (links) creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship from Problem, Idea, Product to Enterprises (i.e., PIPE). The PIPE model have been used at City University of Hong Kong for about 10 years and has been shared with many other universities. Attached is a paper about this model in a proceedings, page 50. See if it is of any reference to you. You or other friends want to know more about this model, feel free to contact me.
