Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology

This MSc is designed to craft the problem-solving and management skills needed to effectively employ technology and innovation. Students encounter a challenging interdisciplinary programme which blends strategic, managerial, organisational and economic approaches in order to analyse innovation and technology, both at firm and market levels. It is organised around key issues (e.g. competitiveness, innovation and internationalisation) which are analysed by relying on various disciplinary approaches (e.g. economics, management and law).

We aim to develop the analytical skills required to understand the dynamics of technology within and across organisations; the decision-making abilities to turn technological opportunities into new ideas; and the problem solving attitude to make successful innovations out of new ideas.
