S1 – Introduction & Types/Drivers of Innovation 

  • Present course goals, assessment, and group project.

  • Clarify what innovation is, and key dimensions: incremental vs. radical, competence-enhancing vs. destroying, modular vs. architectural, product/process/service/business model.

  • Map sources of innovation: individuals, users, firms, startups, universities, suppliers, open-source, government.

  • Group exercise: pick a sector, list innovations, classify them, and identify main sources & megatrends.

  • Takeaway: innovation follows patterns. Knowing them is the foundation for managing it strategically.
