T-109.551 Research Seminar on Telecommunications Business II (2-5 cr) Sakari Luukkainen Helsinki University of Technology Telecommunications Software and Multimedia Laboratory
Goals of the course • (Postgraduate)students taking Telecommunications Manage-ment for their major/minor this course provides an introduction for making and presenting the master's or PhD thesis • Preferred prerequisites: basic courses related to telecommunications, multimedia, industrial management • To develop • techno-economic analysing skills related to the seminar theme: emerging technologies in mobile and wireless data networks evolution • verbal presentation • writing research report
Graduating the course • The credit amount of the course ranges from two to five • The minimum 2 cr requires • active participation to the seminars (6/8 seminars including introductory session) • holding apresentation (about 30-45 min) • making a report (about 20 pages / student), both in English • acting as opponent • All these achievements together will be evaluated by scale 0-5 • Larger, theoretically oriented, maybe containing empirical material exceptionally goodstudies may enable more credits
Preparing the report • The title of the study can be selected freely • The content should however cover at least topics described in the course www-page • Structure: title page, contents, introduction, goals, methodology (theoretical background), results, conclusion, references • References in Harvard format • The report should be e-mailed to • sakari.luukkainen@hut.fi • eino.kivisaari@hut.fi • and opponent(s) in Word or PDF format at latest two days (on Monday) before the verbal presentation • All reports will be put on the course web page and are available on Tuesday morning before the presentation
Preparing the presentation sessions • On Wednesdays at A 328 clock 10.15-12.30 starting 5.3. • Overhead and video projector available, you need own laptop/slides, come enough early to check that everything works • Actual presentation 45 min, opponent 10 min and 10-30 min general discussion • Max 20 slides, use pictures, copy 20 handouts and distribute them before your presentation • The role of opponent is to review (verbally) both the report and verbal presentation and maybe challenge some arguments of study
Characteristics of ICT Innovation • New or improved product or service from market point of view, which contains new technological solutions and has been commercially successfully introduced to the market • In discontinuous technological change there is history data of business – difficult to forecast • A lot of inaccuracy and hype in ICT related marketresearch statistics • ICT is very risky business - many technicalpossibilities open, but with unclearmarket need • - many failures • - unexpected success stories

Technology strategy analysis • Technology in question must be studied thoroughly, but presented concisely • Consider technical details, timing, standardization and patenting situation, technical problems and limitations, competing solutions, products in which technology could be applied and related system environment • Market analysis and future prospects: focus on the real service behind the technology (product innovation requires service innovation) - do not rely only on the market forecast statistics • Use several different sources for information (avoid biased views) • Be critical and objective, the goal is not to prove the technology in question to be a success story
