Fachkompetenzen:

After completing this module, students are able to explain the process of knowledge creation, and the role of innovations in knowledge systems; they can explain the key terms (e.g. implicit, explicit knowledge, knowledge cycle, as well as innovation and different types and categories of innovations). Students deepen their understanding about the instruments and tools for knowledge and innovation management. They can distinguish between adoption and diffusion of innovation and can explain the underlying concepts (perception, behavior and behavior change, diffusion and adoption), and they are able to apply the concepts on concrete cases.
Finally, students know the different types of intellectual property rights and understand its utility in the context of knowledge and innovation management.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

During lectures, students are able to critically view the role of science in knowledge creation, see different types of knowledge and innovations in a broader context.
During preparation for the exam, while preparing and following up on lectures and during the seminar, students practice self-reliance, time management, interpersonal communication and cooperation. By preparing the presentation, students enhance their capability of exploring a scientific issue and (as in the group discussions) further practice their oral communication skills.

Anmerkungen:

Students contributing the voluntary presentation (see above) get a shorter written exam (less questions and 60 minutes instead of 120).
