Innovation Management (IM) involves all the actions needed to generate innovative ideas and turn them into attractive new products, services, and business models. Today’s business credo mandates more innovations, and those innovations become substantially more complex, multi-dimensional and risky. At RSM we study the latest developments in innovation and we investigate how to manage them successfully in practice by linking the latest management theories to business practice.

The Innovation Management section has a mission: We create and disseminate knowledge on innovation management to help organizations become a force for positive change. Our world-class faculty educates future innovation leaders and actively engages with organizations to foster the change we preach.
