Organisation:
The main teaching-learning activities are lectures, seminars and casestudy-based group work. The theoretical platform is presented in a series of lectures in English. The theoretical perspectives are further elaborated on through seminars and group assignment(s), where students are expected to actively participate and independently drive their own learning process through working with theory and case studies. Students are, thus, expected to take a large responsibility for their own individual learning.
Course contents:
Technology-based development is a central theme in the course. Technological development and its connection to organisation and management is studied both on an industry level, in terms of how technology-based industries change over time, and on a company level, i.e. how technology-based businesses are organised and how technology and product development activities are managed within the firm. The course is organised in a number of inter-related themes, which are connected through seminars and assignments:
  • Organisational aspects of innovation management
  • Strategic aspects of innovation management
  • Industry and technology dynamics


Course literature:
Scientific papers and book chapters
Examination:
Individual written assignments
Group assignments with written presentation
