Industry, as well as society, therefore need managers and employees who not only have scientific and engineering training but who also have acquired a thorough understanding of the innovation process and how it can be handled in a financially successful way. At the intersection between technology, management and economics, the overall purpose of the programme is to give you the skills to analyse and manage innovation and renewal. After having completed the programme, you should be able to analyse and understand how and why innovations, technical and scientific information and knowledge interact with the market and economic forces, formulate and solve problems related to innovation and renewal activities involving technological, economic, organisational and institutional change.
