Managing Technology-enhanced Innovation Programs: Framework, Exemplars and Future Directions

Abstract

Managing international programmes sustainably has been the concerns of most educational
institutions. The responsibility is even greater if the programmes aim at enhancing innovative output
supported by technology. This article reports on the authors’ experiences in managing four international
programmes with development of framework of practice through mixed-research methods. Cross-Case
Analysis (CCA) will be made to examine the attributes related to innovation management through STEM
education related approaches. Within-Case Analysis (WCA) will be reported to showcase exemplary
practice of each programme organised. Exemplary Case Analysis (ECA) will be elaborated with composite
framework illustrating how these four international programmes could be organized by supporting one
another from theory to practice. Finally future directions will be discussed on continuing efforts to promote
creativity that contribute to human resource development (HRD) through sustainable implementation.
