Content(s)

• Sociology of Innovation:
The course is structured around a set of analytical frameworks of innovation projects and processes coming from Sociology of Innovation. It aims at understanding the logics and theoretical background (sociology of innovation, economics of technical change), then exploring how to operationalize them. The class will benefit from the actor-network theory. Students will work on an on-going innovation project or an innovation potential in order to learn to use these frameworks and to improve them. Students doing a Master of Research will work on these frameworks in order to improve them, to design new ones and to link them to more classical assessments and managerial tools for innovation. They will also work on academic texts.

Basic knowledge in Design Methods (functional analysis, value analysis) or an Engineering Project, basics in Marketing, basics in Project Management.
