Using case method and representative case studies, we analyze and discuss the technology management for future corporate managers and responsible citizens in society. We address three major questions. First we clarify what is technology and technology management. Second we examine corporate roles for technology management including pricing, finance, marketing, R&D, product design, quality assurance, intellectual property rights, risk management, ethics and SDGs. Third we discuss factors for promoting technological innovations such as economic, political, environmental and cultural conditions and relate the rise and fall of certain countries, industries, and corporations with technology innovations. We apply management theories such as “Structure-Performance-Conduct (SPC) framework”, “Diamond Theory of National Advantage”, “Disruptive Technology”, “Modularity” and “Comparative Advantage Theory and Strategic Trade Theory”.

Learning Method
We provide a number of case studies and related documents with varying subjects and topics. In class discussion, we cover only certain materials and the rest are for your reference and supporting materials of the case discussion. Accordingly, when you prepare for the class, you should concentrate on subjects and topics addressed as assignments (Homework and Report Problems). You are also encouraged to figure out your own questions suitable for class discussion. Because we do not have enough time to discuss all subjects and topics in class, you are advised to identify the important questions.
There is no clear pre-specified scenario of class discussion because case method should emphasize collective efforts of participants. Still we will follow typical process of case analysis such as: a. identifying questions, b. raising alternative solutions, c. analysis, d. discussion, e. decision making. Do not expect that an instructor will lead class discussion with his favorite scenario. It is your role to participate in discussion.

Prepare for the class
Read teaching materials (case studies, related papers, and others) based on assignments. You are requested to prepare for the class with double time duration for a class (i.e. 2 hours for 1 hour class discussion).

Homework (you should submit each homework on the day of class)
Prepare one page report for Homework questions (A4 paper, 300-500 words with figure and table). Type written format is preferred.

Final Report/Exams
There is no final exam in class. We use final report for student’s evaluation. There are two part of final report, one is revised homework and the other is report for “Report Problems). You need to produce A4, 10 pages of answer a single file (M.S.Word or PDF is preferred) with proper information (name, student number, page number, homework question number, report problem number).

Grading is class participation (about 70 percent) and final report (about 30 percent).

Feedback in class after 16:40 for 1 hour.
About grading: Overall class performance is announced after grading.

評価の留意事項　Notes on Evaluation Criteria

Submission of homework before the class is required. Class participation is evaluated with a combination of your preparation and participation in discussion. In lieu of final exam, should submit final report in which you are required to revise your homework of the class and write a short essay for report problems. No significant work is required for completing report as long as you prepare for the class in advance and participate in discussion.
