In the modern economy, knowledge has a unique value of its own. Especially in technology, it underpins critical aspects of industrial innovation, competitiveness, and economic growth. Through a combination of advanced business management and engineering-related economics, this master’s programme will train you to analyse, understand and skilfully manage innovation processes in companies and other areas of society.
At the intersection between technology, management and economics, the education will train you to skillfully analyse and manage the processes of innovation and renewal, focussing on how and why companies innovate, and the best way to transform innovation investment into real financial and social gains.
Management and economics of innovation master's programme at Chalmers
This master's programme focuses on how and why companies innovate to compete and how companies can reap financial returns from their investments in innovation.
Innovation processes present challenges and opportunities for a range of different organisations, such as established firms, new entrepreneurial firms, universities and government agencies. Industry, as well as society, therefore need managers and employees who not only have scientific and engineering training but who also have acquired a thorough understanding of the innovation process and how it can be handled in a financially successful way.
At the intersection between technology, management and economics, the overall purpose of the programme is to give you the skills to analyse and manage innovation and renewal.
After having completed the programme, you should be able to analyse and understand how and why innovations, technical and scientific information and knowledge interact with the market and economic forces, formulate and solve problems related to innovation and renewal activities involving technological, economic, organisational and institutional change.
You will also be able to handle and execute strategies and practical implementation for innovation and renewal by applying state-of-the-art research and management methods and tools and be able to lead, interact and communicate with qualified professionals within and outside their own organisations and their field of knowledge.
Together with committed teachers, that include you in their research and students from various engineering disciplines, this programme creates a base for developing yourself and your ability to lead and develop organisations. In addition, you learn and use tools and frameworks for developing new technologies into viable businesses.
