September 21, 2015

Thirty-five DOST-FPRDI researchers learned the basics of innovation management and value chain analysis in a training-workshop last 08-10 September 2015 at Pansol, Calamba City, Laguna.

Dr. Elvira A. Zamora, University of the Philippines’ Vice President for Development and Professor at the UP Cesar E. A. Virata School of Business, served as Resource Person.

Value chain analysis is a tool for identifying an industry or technology’s key players, support industries and institutions, possible markets, key constraints, opportunities, areas for collaboration and policy options. Innovation management, on the other hand, enables organizations to use creativity in coming up with ideas, products and processes for continuous development.
