Content:
The aim of the course is to develop an overall understanding of how a company’s success depends on its innovation strategy and its management of innovations. Results of both theoretical and empirical research should enable students to understand the central terms and mechanisms in this area and to analyze companies’ innovation strategies in a holistic way. Analyzing innovations at the cross point between market needs and technological possibilities, students should be able to develop suggestions for new innovation strategies and their implementation.
The course covers both the economic and managerial aspects of innovation. Students will get in-depth understanding of key aspects of innovation processes and their institutional and strategic implications. Learning that innovation management is a cross functional task involving all corporate functions like R&D, marketing, production and finance is a central objective of the course.
