The goal of my research is to develop understanding of the basic ideas of Innovation Management, but to do this in the context of real enterprises, which ultimately are where this understanding will be applied. Drawing on my own background, the major applications will be to media and entertainment industries, as well as fashion and other such creative-based industries. My approach is based on guided class discussion supported by outside reading and small projects.
