This course will explore the path from creative breakthroughs in science and technology through their (typically and unfortunately rare) successful impact on society. We will first explore models of creativity in science and engineering, managing the technical professional, and the differences between academic and industrial research. We will then discuss the pitfalls of technology push and academic research transfer, review the basics of Intellectual Property strategy, compare licensing vs. entrepreneurship strategies, discuss incubators and how investors think about entrepreneurial opportunities, and explore a range of possible business models.
