Strategic management, especially with regards to innovation, is crucial if firms want to survive and thrive in today´s competitive and turbulent business environments. Students discuss and apply theories relevant to strategic management and innovation to develop the insights needed to navigate this challenging frontier.
The commercial success that Apple´s iPhone or Philips´ Senseo experienced can be explained only in part by drawing attention to the technical qualities of these products. In addition, strategic manouvring by these firms in relation to competitors and alliance partners as well as non-technical or design aspects of the goods themselves can play key roles. Furthermore, linking products with complementary services can boost profits.
The MScBA Strategy & Innovation is unique by focusing on the strategic issues that can turn innovations into commercial successes. From an analytical basis, this program explores theoretical concepts and tools which enable our students to understand up-to-date, real life cases and conduct their own research.
