This course comprises two distinct, but related, components. The first is a broad introduction to the terms, concepts, and values of business and management. Particular emphasis will be placed on the economic, financial, and corporate contexts of our business culture, and how they impact the organization, strategy, and decision-making of business firms. The second component is an introduction to the sociological and economic forces that shape the development and diffusion of new technologies. This part is primarily designed to provide a framework for determining the commercial viability of new medical devices and the best path for realizing their value, including how to develop a compelling value proposition, analyze markets and competitors, and protect intellectual property. Throughout, the course utilizes individual exercises, case analyses, and team projects. CBID MSE Students Only
