Dear Students,

welcome to the teaching pages of the Chair of Innovation Economics.

Our courses focus on the tension field between the theoretical models of innovation economics and their empirical application, alternating between prospects of economics and business studies. In addition, patents and standards are presented as strategic tools within economy and society. Our teaching program is complemented by regular guest lectures held by representatives from industry, academia and government as well as teaching collaborations with industry partners.

In the boxes below you can find all the courses of our chair at a glance. On the sidebar you can reach each course individually.

Basically, our chair offers ten courses from various fields. The curriculum is modularized and consists of the following courses:

More information on the course Strategische Normung can be found here [1].

* The module must be completed in one semester.

The curriculum of the Chair of "Innovation Economics" is particularly aimed at students of industrial engineering, economics and business administration, but it is also open to students from other programs. Students from other disciplines will be asked to clarify the eligibility of our courses in advance with the staff of our chair or the appropriate academic program counselor.
