In this context innovation can be considered as the process that generates value from the creation, development and implementation of new ideas, technologies, products, and services. The module focuses on how new opportunities are created and transformed into commercial reality, integrating theoretical approaches with practitioner examples. The ideas and frameworks introduced in the module are developed through recent case studies of innovation with UK firms and overseas organisations of international significance.
