ME2096 ICT Innovation Study Project 6.0 credits

Two different fields with similar concepts, methods and/or tools are treated within the scope of a chosen case study: innovation or entrepreneurship.

• Jointly: evaluate the effects of a new technology in a sector, market and/or organisation, support and impediment for its impact and its influence on specific aims and agendas (technology transfer, existing sectors, new companies).
• Within the scope of a specific case study: specific market/business analysis about forces that influence existing companies, suppliers, partners, competitors and other actors, sustainability, social questions, business models, strategies etc.

The innovation study or the entrepreneurship study can:

• Be acquired from EIT Digital Innovation Action Lines and be linked with a partner company or project.
• Be continuation of a student project from EIT Digital Summer School (or Business Development Lab).
• Be based on a real innovation or a real entrepreneurship project and be acquired from the innovation eco-system from a university.

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

1. Apply, synthesise and evaluate previously acquired knowledge of innovations and entrepreneurship for a specific innovation area
2. Carry out an business analysis, make a decision about and design recommendations or justify decisions in a real environment
3. Choose between and apply relevant concepts and methods and/or tools as well as collect relevant data to implement a business analysis and make decision in a real environment
4. Apply concepts, methods and tools to identify and evaluate the value of a technology in a sector, market and/or organisation and the innovation and commercial possibilities that they result in
5. Produce a professional text about a subject related to business analysis
