Innovation, Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Dynamics (Economics and Business Administration) (Aalborg)

Innovation, Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Dynamics (MIKE-B) is a two-year fulltime international MSc specialization programme for Degree Students and Guest/Exchange Students. The MIKE-B programme leads to a Master Degree in Economics and Business Administration with specialization in Innovation, Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Dynamics. MIKE-B enrols both Danish and international students.

The programme focuses on the relationship between knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurial dynamics in a world characterised by globalisation, rapid change and uncertainty. The programme gives the students an opportunity to enhance their knowledge and analytical capability to define and implement sustainable strategies for technological change and global positioning. A special focus is put on theories, methods, and tools supporting knowledge management and innovation in relation to both existing firms (intrepreneurship) and in relation to the establishing of new knowledge based firms (entrepreneurship).

A few examples illustrate topics to be studied:

What role does knowledge play for the development of firms?
How is knowledge diffused in firms and networks?
How do different types of firms organise their innovation activities?
Globalisation as a challenge for the Danish innovation system?
How can further interaction between universities and industry be stimulated?
How do industrial clusters emerge?
Innovation and sustainable development as an integrated part of firm strategies
What kind of policy is needed to stimulate sustainable innovation and firm strategies?
