Innovation management and industrial transformation
15.0 ECTS creditsThe aim of the course is for students to acquire an understanding of transformation processes in industry and society and approaches to innovation management, and to develop an ability to manage complex and unpredictable challenges.
The course introduces theoretical frameworks and approaches essential for understanding innovation and its role in industrial transformation. It provides an overview of models relevant for managing innovation efforts in a dynamic and uncertain environment. The course consists of three modules: (i) Industrial Transformation, (ii) Innovation Management, and (iii) Managing Uncertainty.
The Industrial Transformation module addresses various perspectives on industrial change, innovation diffusion, and business dynamics. The Innovation Management module covers key concepts and aspects related to innovation processes, organising innovation activities, and the relationship between innovation, business, and sustainability. The Managing Uncertainty module deals with different approaches and tools for navigating complexity and uncertainty in relation to design theory. Both scientific methods and social science perspectives are included.
