Computer Science 448 Innovating Across Technology, Business, & Markets Jaswinder Singh

Spring 2011

Course Summary

This course introduces engineering students to the types of issues that are tackled by leading and innovative Chief Technology Officers: the technical visionaries and/or managers at companies who innovate at the boundaries of technology, business, and marketplaces by understanding all of these areas deeply. These individuals are true partners to the business leaders of the organization, not merely implementers of business goals. The focus will be on software technologies and businesses based on them. To use specific contexts, we will emphasize two complementary areas as examples: businesses based on cloud computing and on marketplaces.
