Information, Computing, and the Future
Directions: The title of your blog post should indicate "HW 7" (if your blog is not working then you will need to email this HW to the instructor). Number your answers according to the question numbers below.
1) Spring 2022: don't do this:
Spring 2022: do this instead (due to inclement weather day preventing this from being on the previous HW). Theories of Innovation: Pick a particular invention (car, PC, android, cell phone, HTC U11 cell phone, iron man type suits, or whatever you want) or domain or industry (car industry, software industry, JavaScript programming industry, or whatever). Discuss it concisely (but not too concisely) from the perspective of each of the following theories of innovation described in the notes and lecture:
- Kline and Rosenberg model
- Abernathy and Utterback model
- Clark and Henderson model
- ...and one of the following (which we didn't get to in lecture but is in the notes):
- Teece model
- Christensen I model
- Christensen II model
- Value Chain Evolution model
2) For your term project, if you are doing a paper, write 399 words or more. If you are doing another kind of project, do an equivalent amount of work on it. Your work can involve applying cones of uncertainty, theories of innovation, or whatever you like. It's up to you.
3) Grad students: Continue with the book you obtained. Read the next 20 pages. Explain what you agree with, disagree with, learned, and how your views compare with those of other reviewers on Amazon or elsewhere.
