Opportunity Description

About this course:

Taken from many years of research at University of Illinois, this course “strategic innovation: Building and Sustaining Innovative Organizations” will provide a set of frameworks, tools, and concepts in order to craft ground-breaking strategies in an inclusive way so as to achieve leadership positions. It is a part of “Innovation: From Creativity to Entrepreneurship Specialization”.

Innovation strategy is about generating a unique value for customers by offering a great product that meets their needs and capturing value back from consumers.

Similarly, at the center of an effective innovation strategy is a great product concept. Product is an all-encompassing term that entails physical goods, intangible services, and even ideas. Therefore, the value proposition has to be embedded in a clear business model in order to generate and capture value. But, well-developed innovation plans can be fruitless without consideration of the business ecosystem that consists of competitors, contributors, including suppliers, distributors, and retailers, or the contextual environment in which the company operates.
