- Course content

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.

- 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.
