Innovating effectively is critical for survival in today's economy. Advanced Innovation is designed for participants who already have a basic understanding of the innovation process and who wish to learn about critical issues in innovation management in more detail.
The structure of this course is different from the others in the corporate education program. A number of topics will be nominated for participants to collectively select up to five topics to discuss and develop based on their needs and interests. Case study analysis is a central component of the course. Each participant will work on a case (either individually or in small teams) in which they will apply the ideas discussed in an effort to solve a particular innovation problem facing their firm.

- Identify the cutting edge of innovation research and understand how this can help their business
