Create a single poster that chooses a specific invention or technological innovation and traces its development life cycle.
Create a single poster that chooses a specific invention or technological innovation and traces its development life cycle.
It is most likely that the innovation you choose will use the Winston template.
Your chosen innovation may be something local, such as the Australian pacemaker or the multi-channel Cochlear implant, or an international one like Netflix or Facebook. The ‘innovation model’ that you choose will necessarily depend on the innovation you want to trace.
For example, if the innovation met a pre-existing need in society then you might choose Brian Winstons model (2002, pp. 3-15). If you chose a ‘disruptive’ type of innovation, then you might choose Clayton Christensen’s model (2016). Please watch the lecture from week 1 if you are unsure, and do the following readings:
