Course Objectives:
This course is one of five core courses of the Management of Technology
program at the University of California, Berkeley. It is considered an
operationally focused course, as it aims to develop the interdisciplinary
skills required for successful product development in today's competitive
marketplace. Engineering and Business students join forces on small product
development teams to step through the new product development process in
detail, learning about the available tools and techniques to execute each
process step along the way. Each student brings his or her own disciplinary
perspective to the team effort, and must learn to synthesize that perspective
with those of the other students in the group to develop a sound, marketable
product. Students can expect to depart the semester understanding new product
development processes as well as useful tools, techniques and organizational
structures that support new product development practice. Students form
teams of MBA students, engineering or iSchool students and industrial design students.
Each team is provided a "coach" from industry to advise them on the new product
development process.
Course Website
We will make extensive use of the course Web site to both communicate information to you and to converse with you about your homework and your projects. You will find the course listed on bSpace at:
http://bspace.berkeley.edu/. Once you have formed your project groups, we will set up group web pages on which we expect you to store your working documents for your project. The faculty will review the group pages regularly to provide feedback on your work.
