Key Features

The master’s programme in Innovation and Industrial Management focuses on how to manage organizations in an increasingly uncertain world, with rapidly changing technologies and markets. 

Modern companies face complex industrial challenges, particularly in adapting to technological, financial, regulatory, and consumer changes that affect their future profitability and competitiveness. These challenges require organizations to analyse both the internal- and external-to-the-firm processes with relation to innovation, industrial dynamics, markets, and investments. Ignoring renewal and innovation poses long-term threats to the survival of every organization.

Career

The programme prepares you for a future career as a potential manager in the modern organization – for which innovating is not an option but a necessity. The courses, projects, and thesis work focus on providing you with the right theories, methods, and tools to analyze both theoretical and practical problems, and to design effective solutions for these problems. All organizations must find the balance between efficiency and innovation, and between short-term profitability and long-term development. As a student of the programme, you will develop the skills and insight to overcome these challenges and understand this balance.
