Kursusindhold
The focus of this module is to provide students with a holistic
overview of how new products and services may be generated
effectively. Often described as “innovation” when referring to the
activities conducted by large corporates and as “entrepreneurship”
to emphasize the agility of new companies, both try to explore the
same question: how can firms identify valuable ideas, develop those
into promising prototypes for products and services, and eventually
make a profit on those on the market?
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship module is split into three main
units:
- Innovation strategy: we will look at how to link innovation to
strategy, how to design and implement innovation strategy, key
tools in innovation management, and innovation and strategy may
shift through collaboration in an increasingly connected world
- Where innovation begins: the focus of these sessions is on the
first stage of the innovation process, the so called fuzzy-front
end, where we will explore systematic ways for idea generation
through research-based models for systematic innovation.
- Transforming your companies and the world through innovation and
entrepreneurship: our study tour takes us to the San Francisco Bay
Area to experience a unique innovation ecosystem consisting of
world-class research universities, tremendous entrepreneurial
activity, an abundance of investment capital, a diverse workforce,
social and professional networks, and a risk-friendly business
culture. This eclectic mix of innovation components will be studied
under the guidance of scholars and entrepreneurs affiliated with UC
Berkeley, Haas School of Business; one of the foremost
entrepreneurial universities in the world, and visits to companies
to meet business leaders from Silicon Valley. The study tour
focuses on providing an intense, unique opportunity to capture
insights from the Silicon Valley mindset and skillset.
