Technology & Innovation Management
prof.dr. Bernard R. Katzy (head)
The aim of the Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) group is to understand the co-evolution of technology and social structures. It researches phenomena, especially the innovation process and the emerging information society, at the intersection of science and information technology on the one side, and social and business science on the other side.
Work is grouped into the centre ‘Virtual Organisation’ which focuses on networked organizational forms and their management. This includes the design of “Future Work Spaces” and how they make use of information technology for new forms of productive collaboration.
The centre ‘Innovation Management’ focuses on understanding innovation networks (or clusters) and how they contribute to the growth of new technology-based new ventures. One type of innovation networks that we study are Living Labs, especially the Knowledge Worker Living Lab. The group cooperates with CeTIM and its program office for international research cooperation and entrepreneurship. Junior researchers join the doctoral school, NITIM, a European network of universities.
