| Formål: |
The purpose of the course is to develop student's theoretical and practical skills in conducting an IT innovation project within an existing organisation. The focus of the course is on analysis of the interplay between IT and social actors in an organisational context and generation of innovative IT designs.
A great deal of students in computer science and other IT related educations will after completion of their studies find themselves involved in IT innovation processes within existing organisations. This course is intended to prepare and train those students for this task.
The course could be seen as a preparation course for practical project work later in ones graduate studies for instance in conjunction with the System Development Studio course. |
| Indhold: |
The course is organized in two tracks: a practical and a theoretical.
In the practical track a group of 4-5 students will conduct an IT innovation project for a minor company, a department in a larger company, a non-profit organisation or the like. Students are strongly encouraged to make contact with a potential company prior to the course. The students will investigate problems and opportunities in the company's current way of producing products and services based on which coherent visions for IT based changes are proposed. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with management, employees and other interest groups. Throughout the course there will be lectures introducing an IT innovation method and supervision to support the project work.
The theoretical track consists of lectures and student presentations. Here the students will develop their argumentative skills, and learn to reflect and combine knowledge gained through the student projects, the applied method, and the course literature.
The course require active participation from each student. It is expected that the students conduct an IT design project with an organisation. It is also expected that the students will present part of the course literature, and engage in discussions on the topics presented. |
