The objective of this course is to develop human resource who is capable of establishing an IP strategy to leverage IPs for business benefit and execute the strategy. The human resource needs to know IP systems and consider both IPs and business together. In order to establish and execute the IP strategy to contribute to business benefit, it is important for such a human resource to have an ability to convince top managements. Through this course, I hope you plan a strategy not only in your mind but also you realize an importance of presentation/facilitation skills to get people involved and lead them to execute the strategy. I wish you a continued success in the future by realizing the above, and hope your success will make the industry successful. |
