Innovation

This is the fifth out of the cohort’s seven roundtables and it bridges the gap between the concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation. You will explore the aspects of entrepreneurship education that relate to innovation management, how the two disciplines are similar and different, and how to approach the challenges of teaching them separately and together.

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of the course, you will have expanded your teaching knowledge by having discussed the following:

  • Identifying different frameworks for innovation management and how these can be used in entrepreneurship education
  • How to decouple and delineate entrepreneurship and innovation as two separate but related educational disciplines
  • Ways to compare and contrast innovation frameworks within entrepreneurial education

Structure

Each independent roundtable is composed of two moderated sessions, 90 minutes each, during which we discuss practices and delve deep into the subject of interest. The two sessions take place one week apart.

Between the two sessions, you as participants are expected to reflect and work individually on material provided by the curator during the course. This material is primarily made up of relevant and contemporary research articles that have been condensed and summarised into an easily digested format. 

This content is presented in the form of both text and video, in the interest of accessibility and allowing you to customise the learning experience to your individual needs. In addition to the condensed content, you will have access to the original articles and a recommended reading list, further giving you the option to dive as deep as you wish into the topic.

ELIGIBILITY

The course is designed for higher education teachers, practitioners, mentors, and researchers from all over the world, who want to deepen their knowledge in entrepreneurship education.

”The innovation roundtable was exciting; There was a lot of debate within the program on the differences in approach required in the classroom based on the students' backgrounds and experiences. The discussion on the differences between teaching entrepreneurship and innovation individually and jointly was quite beneficial. It was very valuable since the cohort was made up of teachers from around the world: we could express the conversation by looking at various cultural characteristics of wannabe entrepreneurs and managers and how the teaching experience impacts that.”
