Course overview

In any field, most people end up doing the same thing as everyone else, staying close to known standards and norms of behaviour. This is fine but can be limiting, and ultimately great unique achievements require innovation. Innovation is the pursuit of something different that if achieved can lead to dramatic improvements. This course provides a deep look at the concept of innovation, exploring history, popular interpretations, and key theory. It will help you better recognise the need for innovation in your future careers and business endeavours.

Course learning outcomes

  • Be able to critically describe the importance of innovation and analyse its impact on organisational survival and growth
  • Develop an innovation case study using innovation theory, modern frameworks, tools and processes
  • Identify and explain the complexity of innovation through team research and development of a lecture presentation
  • Develop strategic thinking when dealing with domains and situations related to innovation management.
