Description
Summary:Case of the development project of a biological tissue cut laser system for the cardiac bioprostheses at the Departamento de Biotecnica Aplicada del Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia de Mexico in collaboration with the Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y Desarrollo Tecnologico (CCADET) de la Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). Case stresses the success of technological innovations in hospital, is not just a question of solving technical issues but management ones as well. The technology management issues involved in the innovation processes carried on by the parts were the development of proprietary technology and the project multiplication phenomena based in organizational learning interaction. Parts involved are doing innovations in the health sector looking to improve the cardiac Mexican patients' living standards.
