Philosophy of Innovation (MNG302)

The course aims to introduce students to the conceptual, ethical, and social dimensions of innovation. In the new millennium, innovation has propelled humanity toward unprecedented horizons, echoing ancient quests for progress amid technological leaps and evolving values. Yet, recent reflections reveal its shadow—questioning whether unchecked novelty erodes human flourishing, creativity’s essence, or the moral fabric of society. In this course, students will familiarize themselves with various controllable and uncontrollable environments shaping innovation and will develop an understanding of managing it philosophically in such realms. Furthermore, students will learn to apply Socratic tools of inquiry and ethical frameworks available for individuals and organizations navigating innovation’s existential challenges.
