Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
1. identify and argue for project management forms applicable to innovation and design projects
2. problematize management of innovation and design projects in different contexts
3. describe and explain different perspectives of uncertainties within innovation and design projects
4. discuss and apply innovation and design projects based on theories of uncertainty
Course content
The course consists of theoretical and practical studies of innovation and design management and how uncertainties are managed within innovation- and design projects.
