After two successful PDWs on "Innovating How we teach innovation" at the Academy meetings in 2014 and 2015, we are running the third PDW to explore this subject further at the 2016 Academy meeting in Anaheim. Guided by the 2016 theme of "Innovation & Entrepreneurship", this year we will focus on three topics that live at the intersection of Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) and Entrepreneurship (ENT). The first topic is focused on course design, and how entrepreneurship classes can combine elements of integrating organizational design and innovation within the context of new ventures. How can we best teach entrepreneurship and innovation and associated education offerings by combining multiple disciplines? What are the advantages and challenges of these approaches? The second topic revolves around designing education offerings that give students an experiential setting to learn how to manage resources and sourcing. How can we best teach the important skills of hiring, managing, and obtaining skills for resource constrained new ventures? The third topic focuses on the role that incubators play in the translation from learning to new venture creation. How do we best erect and manage structures to have a sustainable pipeline of university centric ventures?
As in past years, for each of the three topics there will be short presentations from faculty actively engaged in these areas to provide some examples, followed by brief Q&A. In the second hour we will brake into round-table discussions with the presenters and PDW attendees to exchange experiences on these topics and report out findings to the group at large.
We hope to see many of you in Anaheim on Friday morning.
Best wishes,
- Sebastian, Tucker, and Victor
