The purpose of the course is to give the student knowledge on how to create and extract financial and other value through the design of technological innovations and markets.

- Be able to perform an analysis of innovative business models including financial projections- and valuations
Content
Fundamentals of business strategy and innovation management are provided along with an understanding of the role of innovations in a knowledge-based society. Theory is interwoven with case studies of innovation and business primarily in the information and communication technology (ICT) and bioscience areas.
The students will learn to analyze technological innovations and understand how markets and financial value can be created through varying business models. Important areas include techno-economic value analysis, innovation design methodology, business models and valuation techniques.
