Course content
Despite innovation being a top strategic priority, there are gaps in the measurement of innovativeness. Proxies have long been used to study innovation, however they can only partially capture innovation output. In this course, we will explore a set of specific research questions to shed light on current innovation challenges.
Course objective
The goal of the bachelor seminar is to provide bachelor students with the opportunity to conduct a self-driven, structured research project on a topic that is shaping innovation management and research today. This seminar also serves as a preparation for students who are interested in writing a bachelor thesis on topics related to innovation.
