Innovation and Project Management, 15 credits

This course takes its point of departure in the knowledge-based theory of the firm to suggest that the ability of firms to integrate specialist knowledge is vital for successful innovation. Further, the particular challenges of project-based organizations, which are commonly used to organize for innovation, are discussed. During the last decade many firms have opened up their innovative activities to include e.g. customers, suppliers or even competitors and we therefore discuss the implications of this development and particularly discuss and analyze different kinds of collaborative R and D projects and how they can be governed and coordinated. In the last part of the course we focus on radical innovation and dynamics of innovation.
