Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

In this module, students will identify and analyse a problem within management of technology, entrepreneurship and innovation. In groups, the students will identify a theoretical or empirical problem and apply a suitable combination of methods and frameworks covered throughout the first two semesters to address it.

After completion of the module, students are, independently and in collaboration with others, able to define an appropriate problem within management of technology, entrepreneurship and innovation, develop and execute a relevant research design and develop suitable solutions for the problem in question.

Throughout the module the students will also be introduced to theoretical and practical approaches to project management.
