Content

The purpose of the course is to give students a theoretical and practical understanding to be able to define, establish and design business and utilization strategies for open innovation. The course focuses on the identification, development and distribution of knowledge as a key resource for value creation, as well as identifying various business logics and value creation models where individual and collective knowledge generates value and strong positions in network-based collaboration and network structures.

Organisation

The teaching is conducted through lectures and seminars with a focus on theoretical knowledge in combination with practical understanding, for example, case studies and exchange of experience with guest lecturers from relevant areas. The case studies are based on different models of open innovation processes and utilization processes in which students work in interdisciplinary study groups.
