The importance of technological change and innovation within organisations has become increasingly critical as businesses struggle to achieve and maintain competitive advantage in a fast changing global market. The speed of technological change has not only brought innovation and efficiency but has also created a challenge for many organisations that still grapple with its complexity. Often the relationship between technological change and organisational change is not comprehended which leads to significant innovations being resisted, becoming victim to competing ideas, or failing to be sustained. This unit of study will help students learn how new technologies are aligned and implemented within organisations to remain competitive. Using insights from case studies and real life examples, students will be able to analyse problems and challenges relating to technological change and design solutions.
