Course content and structure |
The course introduces students to the field of
innovation and entrepreneurship. In this course we will discuss the
characteristics of innovative firms and the entrepreneurial
individuals behind them. Armed with studies and theories on what
constitutes successfully innovative firms and entrepreneurial
individuals, we will engage in exercises and discuss cases. Thereby
we will develop an understanding of the effects of how individual
and firm background, as well as networks and collaboration, affect
innovation and entrepreneurship. We will study effects of team
composition and social networks for collaboration outcomes on
individual and firm level. Further, we will scrutinize how firms
profit from their innovations and stay competitive through business
model innovation. Finally, we will address the topic of
entrepreneurship from different perspectives: we will study the
characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, and we will engage in
exercises simulating entrepreneurial activities. |
Teaching methods |
Classes consist of lectures, exercises and
teaching based on cases. The lectures introduce the pivotal
subjects and issues in each module, while exercises and cases
allows for interactive learning. The cases are chosen to highlight
the relevant issues and to foster engaging classroom debate on
integration of theory and reality. |
