The subject of Strategic Innovation has three objectives. On the one hand, to provide the student with the most advanced knowledge in terms of business strategy and relationship with the global environment.
On the other hand, by using the case method it allows the student to learn complex theoretical concepts thanks to real and current business cases.
Finally, by using a business simulator the student will be able to implement in a virtual environment the concepts learned in the class sessions (eg competitive advantage, innovation by segments, licenses, management of the global environment, etc.). .
Design the competitive strategy of the company or an innovation project and design, plan and direct innovative business models.
Apply knowledge about negotiation, conflict resolution, time management, emotional intelligence, decision making, study techniques, teamwork and communication techniques.
Theoretical sessions |
MD1. Master class: Expository class sessions based on the teacher's explanation attended by all students enrolled in the subject MD3. Presentations: Multimedia formats that support face-to-face classes MD4. Video capsules: Resource in video format, which includes contents or demonstrations of the thematic axes of the subjects. These capsules are integrated into the structure of the subject and serve students to review as many times as necessary the ideas or proposals that the teacher needs to highlight in their classes. |
Guided learning |
MD7. Case study: Dynamics that starts from the study of a case, which serves to contextualize the student in a specific situation, the teacher can propose different activities, both individually and in groups, among their students. MD8. Role-playing games: Simulation dynamics in which each student plays a role specified by the teacher. As a "role", you will have access to specific information and must "play" its bases, according to the rules of the game, to solve or live the reference situation of the dynamics. |
Autonomous learning |
MD9. Solving exercises and problems: Non-contact activity dedicated to the resolution of practical exercises based on the data provided by the teacher MD10. Research and critical reading of articles: Students start from a working hypothesis that they will develop, following the phases of the research methodology, including the critical reading of articles. MD11. Non-contact tutorials: why the student will have telematic resources such as e-mail and ESCSET intranet resources. |
This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.
The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.
