Innovation is critical for the survival and growth of all organisations. In this module, you are offered an opportunity to explore how various forms of contemporary organisations are able to develop and manage their innovation activities. The module examines what is meant by innovation, why innovation is critical for organisations, and how innovation activities are developed and employed in contemporary organisations as a means of driving and shaping their business. Throughout the module, seminars will involve critical analysis of real-life cases to address a range of innovation problems. In this way, you will develop commercial awareness and recognise drivers for innovation success. You will also have the opportunity to work with others and communicate your views. Formative assessment of these seminar cases will help in preparing the final assessment task.
