GEN303Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Engineers
3 credits
In all sectors, innovation and entrepreneurship (as a form of innovation) have become an important source of sustainable competitive advantage for firms around the world. However, innovation management and the capability of managers and owners to build innovative organization is quite a challenge. In this course, we will address the role of innovation and entrepreneurship for macro and micro levels and focus on practices and processes to successfully manage it. The course will focus on entrepreneurial firms (start-ups and corporate ventures of established firms) and analyze success and failure cases of innovation. This course provides good grounding in technology and innovation management for students interested in becoming entrepreneurs or managers in innovation driven firms. Students will learn based on lectures, case analysis, external experts and own research and presentations. In innovation management it is impossible to separate organizational strategy from implementation since a great idea will only become an innovation if managers are capable to commercialize and monetize it. Therefore, much of the material discussed and analyzed within the course relates to strategy and organizational behavior.
