Organisation:
A small number of lectures and/or seminars introduce research methodologies and analyses that are suitable for understanding innovation management and entrepreneurship. In small groups, the students work on a project under the guidance of a tutor from the department. Some of these project groups will work together as â?oproblem-based learning" groups. In seminars, these groups will discuss issues associated with research methodology as well as present and discuss their projects with each other. The study groups also serve as opponents for other groups. This arrangement encourages critical and constructive review of research and academic reports in innovation management. The course runs throughout the whole semester.

- The problem is clearly presented, problematized, and motivated by specific and clear research questions.
- The theoretical frame of references for the specific problem is motivated, presented, and applied in a relevant way.
- That methods and perspectives are grounded in theory and the methods are considered appropriate and applied appropriately.
- The conclusions can be judged as credible and are logical consequences of the work presented.
