Entrepreneurship, Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Advertisement

The Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation track is designed for you who want to work with business development and innovation in established businesses. You will learn how opportunities for renewal and innovation are identified, developed, organised and implemented in the organisation.

During the programme you will gain practical experience as an intern at a progressive company. At the company you will be engaged in a business development project together with your mentor and the current staff. To support your actions you will first have acquired a thorough grounding in theories related to the entrepreneurial and innovation process within established companies.

The programme consists of four courses that guide you through the process:

* Corporate entrepreneurship
* Organizing for innovation and entrepreneurship
* Innovation management and open innovation
* Project and research methods for entrepreneurship

The track includes courses covering different aspects of corporate entrepreneurship and innovation management. A key component of the track is the Internship (30 credits) in which you work as a member of a host organisation running a project to renew and innovate within an established business.

Our pedagogy is based on the belief that you need practice to learn. However, you also need to reflect on your practice, and learn from available theories in the field. This is why you will find our programme in entrepreneurship to embrace action without compromising the valuable learning that comes from theory.

Courses (7.5 ECTS credits each): Corporate Entrepreneurship; Innovation Management and Open Innovation; Organising for Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Integration work. Internship and degree project (30 credits ECTS).
