One of the most important challenges facing organisations today 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.

The OIE programme is a new master’s degree developed as a cross-disciplinary response to the challenges of the post-industrial society. The programme places focus on how to create, manage and lead processes of innovation and entrepreneurship within the context of formal organisation. This means that it takes the post-industrial modes of value creation as its point of departure and builds competences necessary to those whose future work will involve tackling challenges facing developing/sustaining the innovative entrepreneurial organisation.

Students will learn how to create and lead heterogeneous groups. They will learn how to analyse and provide solutions to challenges of innovation; and learn how to develop and maintain organisational capacities for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. In other words, the programme gives students a highly valuable set of analytical, communicative and organisational competences all centred around bringing your thoughts and learning process to the forefront of the post-industrial economy. The programme is also a demanding learning process. Students are expected to be highly participative, and the teaching style throughout the courses reflects this ambition.
