This course is structured around lectures, class discussions, and projects (the projects should be developed in teams of 4/5 students), which will familiarize students with the theoretical body of the course, and will also focus on the use of tools and techniques of innovation management. Case studies provide an opportunity for knowledge consolidation and the development of skills through learning-by-doing. The theoretical content is both based on literature and supported by practical examples – the main pedagogical resources. Additional Internet based mechanisms can be used for the dissemination of information and asynchronous interaction.

Each student is expected to positively contribute to the resolution of projects. All are expected to attend classes and to be prepared to class discussions by reading the material and answer the questions using different sources such as Internet, books, papers, etc. Evaluation takes into consideration the students’ participation in the classes. Students enrolling in this class presume they will be present in most of the lessons, so it is the student’s obligation to personally notify the teacher about any absence, in advance if possible. When a student misses more than 40% of the classes, the teacher determines whether to allow completion of missed work.
