授業の目的
イノベーションは、洋の東西を問わず、国の競争力を維持する為に国家レベルで取り組むべき重要課題であり、特に技術立国を標榜する日本は、“超スマート社会＝Society 5.0”の実現を目指し、「統合イノベーション戦略2019」の下で、基礎研究から社会実装までのイノベーション施策を強化しています。実際にそれらの個々のイノベーションを担う企業は、企業における経営戦略の下でイノベーション創出を図るプロジェクトを意図的に、持続的にマネージして行く必要があります。本授業の目的は、将来的に企業経営に参画して行く技術系マネジメント人材の候補者が、上記背景とミッションを十分に理解した上で、戦略的、体系的にイノベーションに基づく経営戦略を理解し、知識をマネージすることで所属企業や団体においてイノベーションを実現するプロジェクト・マネジメントの実践能力を養うことです。
基本コンセプト
哲学的な解釈から始まり、多種多様に説明されている経営戦略ですが、事業の立地、事業の構え、事業における製品・サービス、事業におけるマネジメントの次元においてそれぞれ課題が異なります。経営戦略をよりプラクティカルな観点で捉えれば、“企業が長期的に売り挙げ高営業利益率を向上または維持するために、どのようにイノベーションを発生させ、実現させるのか？”ということが企業経営にとって重要な課題です。従って、経営戦略の実行という観点で、企業経営におけるイノベーション創出のプロジェクトをいかに効率よく成功に導いていくことができるのか、その役割を担うプロジェクト・マネジメントの巧拙が重要な役割を果たします。企業は、収益を生み出すことを常に念頭に置いて、組織能力を高め、イノベーション創出の停滞が起きないように事業を推進していく必要があり、イノベーション創出プロセスとして、戦略的なプロジェクト・マネジメントの遂行が基本コンセプトです。

Purpose
Innovation stands as a paramount imperative at the national level, irrespective of nationality, to uphold a nation's competitive prowess. Particularly in Japan, renowned for its technology-centric ethos, there has been a concerted effort to fortify innovation policies spanning from fundamental research to societal implementation under the "Innovation Strategy 2019," with the overarching aim of realizing a "Super Smart Society = Society 5.0." Each company endeavoring to manifest innovation must adeptly manage projects aimed at intentionally and consistently fostering innovation within the framework of corporate management strategy. The aim of this course is to equip engineers poised for managerial roles with the practical acumen of project management, facilitating the realization of innovation within their respective companies and organizations through a strategic and systematic understanding of innovation-based management strategies.
Basic Concept
Management strategy, rooted in philosophical elucidation, presents varied challenges at different levels of business, encompassing industry, value chain, product and service, and day-to-day management. The crux of corporate management lies in the practical execution and achievement of innovation, aimed at bolstering or sustaining a company's Return on Sales (ROS) over the long term. Thus, the effective leadership and management of innovative projects hold pivotal significance in the implementation of management strategy. Students are tasked with comprehending the multifaceted aspects of project management, recognized as pivotal for business success, to bolster organizational capacity and prevent stagnation of innovation momentum by continually balancing business profitability.
