structure |
|
The course emphasizes to train the participants in the
transformation of theoretical/technical competencies into practice
by creating innovation potentials and participate in effectual
entrepreneurship. The course will aim at creating new business
opportunities, new companies, new work places.
This will take place through transformative learning and generative
themes for digital entrepreneurship. Thereby the course will
strengthen existing competencies and develop new innovative and
entrepreneurial competencies. The participants will use ICT for two
purposes: (1) as an object for innovation and
entrepreneurship (2) as an enabler of innovation and
entrepreneurship
The participants will work singlehanded and in commons; i.e. in
dialgue with actors in global, regional and local communities and
networks. They will create and sustain praxis of knowledge based
innovation potentials, business concepts and business models.
These knowledge based innovation potentials, business concepts and
business models show necessary depths of knowing in order to inform
decision-making on whether it is possible to create a viable
business.
The course will work towards entrepreneurship (individually and/or
collectively), intrapreneurship (’corporate entrepreneurship’) as
well as extrapreneurship (co-creating in society).
Even though the course focus on the development of new business
concepts and business models it will also focus on feeling for and
deep understanding of how entrepreneurs, companies and networks
work in innovational- and entrepreneurial processes. Therefore an
essential part of the course is co-creation with actors in society;
i.e. companies, public institutions, NGOs, universities, unions,
engaged citizens etc.
A preliminary course plan is:
• Innovation models and tools for entrepreneurship,
intrapreneurship and extrapreneurship
• Building networks and create knowledge sharing across
disciplines, cultures and sectors
• ICT and design methodologies and tools for digital innovation and
entrepreneurship
• Development of individual and co-operative generative themes for
new business concepts, new business models and new companies
(start-ups)
• Choice of model for digital innovation and entrepreneurship
in the ’communities of practice’ formed in the course as the
cornerstone of transformative learning and praxis
• Systematic knowledge search and knowledge mapping as the basis
for network analysis and knowledge landscapes, including web 2.0,
web 3.0 and web 4.0 opportunities
• Mapping and documentation of global, regional and local
innovation potentials
• Strategy, marketing, financing and legal aspects of digital
innovation and entrepreneurship
• Business Models
• Action Plans
• After the course: Sustaining relation-making, value-making and
sense-making through digital narratives and face-to-face meetings.
