Description of the school
As markets expand and technology grows more sophisticated, it becomes crucial to understand the process and problems of designing complex systems. This two-week summer school will use the concept of
modularity as an entree into the science of design, with applications ranging from software and physical products to organizations and social institutions. One important focus will be the ways in which
design principles shape, and are shaped by, the speed and direction of innovation.
In its modern guise, the concept of modularity as a design principle was articulated in the 1960s by scholars like Herbert Simon and Christopher Alexander. By isolating subsystems in
an intelligent way, a modular (or nearly decomposable) design can ensure overall coherence among those subsystems while minimizing the costs of communication and coordination. These ideas
have since been refined, extended and criticized by a wide range of scholars in the modern science of design.
The 2013 Trento Summer School faculty will bring together some of the best-known and most-influential scholars in this field, representing a variety of disciplines product design, strategy, finance, economics. Lecture topics will include:
Students participating in this Summer School will gain an up-to-date overview of the relevant theory, exposure to case studies from a variety of industries and contexts, and an opportunity to present their own work and receive comments from School faculty.
The ideal candidates for the School are Ph.D. students, post-doctoral fellows, and newly minted researchers in technology and operations management; strategy; finance; and the economics of organizations and institutions.
Applications are due by Saturday, 27 April 2013. Admissions decisions will be announced by 10 May 2013. All applicants will be informed by e-mail about the results.
