Fagets indhold

What enables some firms to continuously innovate and capture market shares while others fail and go out of business? This course builds analytical insight into relationships between knowledge, innovation and competitiveness and into their implications for the management of innovation. Innovation is by definition an activity with uncertain outcomes and we will discuss how organizations can successfully navigate situations characterized by high ambiguity and volatility. The course introduces theories, concepts, and methods for the analysis of innovations at the levels of projects, firms and industries, in order to develop students’ analytical skills and critical thinking. The course also introduces a set of tools related to innovation practices of firms, as one of the ways in which the course bridges and integrates academic analysis of innovations with the practical issues of their management.
