Innovation has become an imperative, not only for private firms but increasingly for the public sector too. CEOs and governments alike now consider innovation management one of the most important competencies in today's world.
This programme offers a solid background in innovation management including management of innovation from idea to commercialisation, innovation strategies, structures and cultures, market forces of innovation, and the management of intellectual property rights and entrepreneurship.
The MSc in Innovation Management and Business Development provides a unique opportunity to experience the challenges of innovation processes and to develop an understanding of the rationale behind both technology development and the development of markets and business. There is broad empirical agreement that a multidisciplinary understanding is key for successful cooperation between the technical and market-related focus in innovation marketing, and ultimately for innovation success. The programme aims to enhance students' understanding of strategies, structures, processes, people, and cultures so as to drive successful innovation and enhance the innovative capability of organisations.
STRONG COMPETENCIES, FUTURE JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The programme will provide you with the competencies and skills you need to fill managerial positions in manufacturing and service companies and in consulting firms. You will be equipped to work specifically with planning and implementation of innovation strategies, creation and advancement of innovative processes, and development of new businesses.
In large companies, graduates of the programme have become champions for innovation by bridging the gap between R&D, production, and sales activities and helping to support and shape the innovation culture. In small and medium-sized companies, our graduates have acted as entrepreneurs, combining technological know-how with a profound business understanding.
