The aim of this course is to provide students with a combination of theoretical and applied knowledge on organizing innovation. While successful innovation are highly visible (including products such as Apple’s iPhone and process innovations such as Ryan Air’s low-cost airfares), such success stories sometimes obscure the challenges and risks associated with innovation. Therefore, the course focuses on both the challenges and opportunities firms face when organizing for innovation and engaging in new product or service development. The course also examines the challenge to building and maintaining an innovative organization, the role of creativity and prototyping, and how individuals can successfully innovate in organizations. Students also learn about recent insights on key concepts relevant for the course, such as design thinking, and user driven or open innovation. It combines traditional lectures with case studies, in-class exercises, and group work. The course should be of interest to students aspiring to work in industry, public sector, non-profits, or startups.
