The OIE programme is developed as a cross-disciplinary response to the challenges of the postindustrial society.

Creating and Managing Processes of Innovation
One of the most important challenges facing organisations is to get ready and fit for the post-industrial modes of value creation. Throughout society leaders are realising that in order to stay at the front in a globalised economy organisations need to build a capacity for and skills in innovative and entrepreneurial organisation creation.

OIE places focus on how to create, manage and lead processes of innovation and entrepreneurship within the context of formal organisation. We take the post-industrial mode of value creation as our point of departure and build competences necessary to those whose future work will involve tackling challenges in developing/ sustaining the innovative, entrepreneurial organisation.

You will learn to create and lead heterogeneous groups. You learn to analyse and provide solutions to challenges of innovation; and you learn to develop and maintain organisational capacities for creativity and entrepreneurship.

The programme is a demanding learning process. You are expected to be highly participative, and the teaching style reflects this ambition.

Career Opportunities
You can build your career in organisations that have a recognised need for focusing their organisational capacity within innovation and entrepreneurship. Examples of positions could be project entrepreneurs/ managers in innovation and organisation development departments, innovation analysts, product or service portfolio managers, business development managers and similar positions that require strong cross-disciplinary business skills.
