Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
One activity in the course is students’ own studies of scientific articles that aim for the students to become familiar with the theory in innovation management and be able to relate critically to academic texts. Students will also analyze internships, individually and in groups, to further deepen the knowledge from read articles and to be able to apply results from research in a practical context. Furthermore, students must formulate and motivate in writing their own insights and analysis results that aim to use the theory in relation to practice, and where students should translate theory into their own texts aimed at a specified target group.
