Executive MBA Entrepreneurship & Innovation

Make Use of Innovation & Compete Successfully

For organizations in all forms and sizes, including start-ups, SME, multinationals, NPO, and NGO, innovation has become the number one competitive factor. However, innovation does not happen out of the blue. It is driven by individuals who spot innovation opportunities earlier than others, recognize the big picture, and develop the opportunity with passion and the right tools. You can drive that change with strategies, methods, insights, practical skills, cases, and the right network – all of which the Executive MBA Entrepreneurship & Innovation provides.
