Media Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship
Through translational research and technology development efforts, our faculty are working to understand the drivers of effective innovation and entrepreneurship. We are designing, developing and evaluating technologies and media as catalysts and accelerators of best practices in entrepreneurship and innovation. Consequences of innovation-induced media change are top of mind for our researchers, including development, controllability and the social & organizational innovations needed to harness the benefits of technological innovations.
