Students who complete the Managing Technology and Innovation Concentration are eligible to have the Concentration noted on their transcripts (please see the Bulletin for the list of requirements). Take advantage of this focused set of courses to deepen your overall understanding of: the innovation context, organizing for innovation (both large firm issues and start-ups), the process of innovation (team and project management), and systems design. These courses will better prepare you to engage with the Santa Clara University technology and innovation community. Relevant University organizations include: the Leavey School of Business’ Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship; the SCU Center for Science, Technology, and Society; SCU's Tech Law Forum; and especially, the student-run Entrepreneurs’ Connection.Calendars of Events
Managing Technology and Innovation TodayThe Future of Technology-Mediated Social ParticipationFriday, Dec. 4, 2009After your finals, head over to PARC for this great forum on Tech-Mediated Social Participation. From their annoucement: "Billions of people contribute knowledge and opinions through wikis, discussion forums, and blog communities, while others build collective intelligence by tagging photos, rating movies, reviewing restaurants, and commenting on political events. These social applications showed huge growth during the past ten years, but still newer innovations may overtake them. All around us, technology-mediated social participation has been harnessed for remarkable social benefits and social change. But, there are dangers: many projects fail to motivate enough users, and some social media are used effectively by criminals, terrorists, racial hate groups, or oppressive dictators. However, new thrusts in basic research and engineering are likely to move beyond existing socio-technical media to produce new participatory systems. These developments could produce profound transformations in healthcare, community safety, disaster response, life-long learning, business innovation, energy sustainability, environmental protection, and other spheres of important national priorities. Attention to potential dangers, especially concerning security and privacy, will also have to be considered. This panel, which brings together researchers from industry and academia to discuss the future potential of a new field of technology-mediated social participation, is part of the Workshop on Technology-Mediated Social Participation being hosted at PARC 10-11 December."
