Innovation Pipeline Management

The first half of our time together this week will be a lecture on pipeline management, and the key levers on tournament performance. You do not need to complete the T&U readings before class. They are a reference covering the key ideas we'll discuss in class.

Reference Reading (not required before class):  T&U Chapter 9
