Managing Change and Innovation

Managing Change and Innovation 
The final assessment of the module was supposed to be an individual exam. Due to the circumstances, this has been adjusted to an online individual essay. The essay will utilise the questions that were intended for the exam, and as in the exam, students will have a choice of answering ONE out of the two exam questions. This assignment directly links to module learning outcomes 2, 4, and 5.
Word Count: 1000 words (this is a definitive word count including everything bar the reference list; there is no +/- 10% for this assignment).
Questions: Students must choose only ONE of the questions to answer.

1. Critically discuss how open innovation practices can affect firm innovation?
2. Critically discuss the market and system failure rationales for government intervention in firm innovation activity?
