Master's degree programme in Global Innovation Management is a two-year programme which combines studies in International Business, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management and results in Master of Science degree in Economics and Business Administration.
Highly developed economies depend heavily on companies which take innovative products, services and novel business concepts to the world markets. To accomplish that they need people with generalist understanding of today's complex interactions in a globalising world who are able to be entrepreneurial in a variety of contexts in order to identify opportunities. Also, companies need people who are able to innovate by evaluating found or made opportunities and who are able to commercialise them internationally.
This is the background of the Master's Degree Programme in Global Innovation Management. We strive to develop talent which will be capable to contribute to innovative companies' international expansion and lead their development.
How to innovate a business concept? What determines success in new product and service development? What factors need to be considered in commercialisation? Which decisions need to be taken to expand internationally? Our students are confronted with these and similar questions on an ongoing basis. They learn to develop their individual mental models and mindsets in order to find their own innovative solution approaches for answering them. In our experience that is what innovation-driven firms need.
