STS.081 Innovation Systems for Science, Technology, Energy, Manufacturing, and Health
STS.081 Innovation Systems for Science, Technology, Energy, Manufacturing, and Health (Spring 2017, MIT OCW). Instructor: William Bonvillian. This course focuses on science and technology policy - it will examine the science and technology innovation system, including case studies on energy, computing, advanced manufacturing, and health sectors, with an emphasis on public policy and the federal government's role in that system.
Class 7 Description:
Class 7 will note that although innovation systems function at the institutional level in the public and private sectors, they also must function at the personal, face-to-face level. The class will review a series of breakthrough innovations and look at the R&D teams that assembled them, discussing the organizational rule sets that appear to be common to these great innovation groups. The focus groups include Edison's Invention Factory, Oppenheimer and Los Alamos, Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley at Bell Labs, Boyer and Swanson founding Genentech, Venter and the genome project, and Robert Taylor at Xerox Parc.
