Kellogg TechVenture (TECH-918-0)
1.00 Credit

Description:

This course counts toward the following majors: Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Technology Industry Management.

Kellogg TechVenture, a survey course for all students, is designed to provide a deep understanding of emerging technologies that are reshaping our lives and businesses. The course combines conceptual frameworks, hands-on research and a weeklong visit to Silicon Valley that offers first-hand exposure to small and large technology companies. Topics covered may include wireless, digital multimedia, outsourcing, biotechnology and nanotechnology, among others.

Students will develop expertise in a specialized domain and gain experience and skills writing a publishable-quality research paper, while gaining primary knowledge of emerging companies and technologies. Students' final papers, in an area of their choosing, will be published in a new book called "Kellogg on Technology," which will leave a legacy for future classes and help build the Kellogg brand in technology. TechVentures also provides students the opportunity to make key contacts in the technology industry.

The course will be divided into three phases -- classroom sessions with lectures and guest speakers from industry, team presentations, and, finally, the weeklong research expedition to Silicon Valley during the first week of Spring Break (March 12 to March 17, 2006).
