I teach a graduate Capstone class at the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) which focuses on the Strategic Management of Innovation & Technology.
We look at what exactly strategic management is and then spend most of the semester looking at how an organization can optimize developing Technology internally and also looking at the implications of acquiring from external sources.
In addition, we look at three or four ‘edge-of-the-art’ technologies and discuss their implications.
One of the issues we deal with is how technology impacts on the culture of an organization and the marketplace.
Recently there was an interesting column about the impact of technology dispersion on the US in a blog I frequently look at called the Conversable Economist. In addition to posting it in class I thought others might find it an easy and interesting read:
