Overall content |
The course will work with theories about innovation processes that take place in and between businesses and organisations and in collaboration with other actors, including users, and it will discuss how innovation interacts with value creation in the business. It will also focus on what role management plays in promoting and planning innovation and entrepreneurship in businesses. The course will also work with providing knowledge and understanding of how innovation is planned and carried out in a societal context and how the surrounding society impacts innovation in businesses and entrepreneurship. The significance of the institutional framework and the societal conditions for innovation will be analysed in order to understand a business's value creation. Additionally, the students will be introduced to tools that can be used in innovation activities. These, together with the theories on innovation that they are introduced to, will allow the students to plan, complete and analyse an innovation process during the course involving both internal and external actors. |
