| Innovation and entrepreneurship are key sources of growth in society and economy. Over time their nature has become contested and their scale and scope have changed substantially. This course will introduce the main lines of development of innovation and entrepreneurship from the first industrial revolution in England in the late eighteenth century, via the social, organizational and technological advances in the ninetieth and twentieth centuries, and until the challenges of the present day. Throughout the course you will learn and discuss the most important theories of entrepreneurship and innovation, for example the role of entrepreneurship and innovation for economic growth, or what processes and behaviors mark successful entrepreneurship and innovation. Finally, the course will provide the first step in enhancing the students’ ability to articulate and defend arguments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The novelty and society course offers to equip
the student with critical capacity in studying innovation and
entrepreneurship in two ways. It will improve the analytical and
argumentative skills, and students will learn to use and evaluate
appropriate methods in dealing with problems of innovation and
entrepreneurship.
It will introduce a set of key theories for grasping entrepreneurship and innovation and discuss their analytic power based upon scholarly articles and cases. The course has 10 sessions of 3 lectures each. They will be a combination of lectures, student presentations and case based discussions with focus on methodology and developing research questions. In each of these sessions, reading groups will present their reading of the theoretical articles and we will discuss the relevant case based upon circulated questions. |
