Innovation management for practitioners

The course covers basic concepts, models, and theories that are important in order to understand innovation management, as well as different ways of organising for innovation in organisations, including innovation processes and open innovation. As a theoretical frame of reference, a perspective on knowledge is used to understand what innovation is and how innovations are created. The course also approaches innovation from business-related and strategic perspectives. Students participate actively in discussions and complete hand-in assignments.
