Technological Innovation at VU University Amsterdam. Each year,
this bachelor course attracts 150 students. It explains the drivers of
technological innovation in firms, government and society. Students who pass
this course obtain state-of-the-art knowledge on: the organization of
scientific- and business-R&D, new product development, product design,
production systems, and market delivery. I teach the bachelor course Corporate Social Entrepreneurship and
Sustainability. The course attracts 100 students each year and provides
an overview of the important aspects of the management of sustainable and
responsible organizations. It teaches students how to develop triple P
(people, planet, profit) organization strategies, how to take responsibility
for sustainable aspects as an organization, how to communicate and cooperate
with stakeholders as an organization strategy, and how to develop new and
innovative triple P products and services. I
also teach the course Management
of Sustainable Innovation. This Master course is open for 200
students in Science, Business & Innovation, and Business Administration

to do your thesis on these subjects (Bachelor, Master, or
Ph.D.)? You are welcome to contact me (b.a.g.bossink@vu.nl). "Getting people to talk to each other
is the only truly effective way of transferring technical knowledge and
advancing the process of innovation." This statement and the
supporting argument can be read inThomas Allen and
Gunter Henn's book The
Organization and Architecture of Innovation. "The beginning of administrative wisdom
is the awareness that there is no optimum type of management system."
This and many other insights can be obtained from Tom Burns and G.M.
